Radical Cartesianism

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the innovative contributions of Robert Desgabets and Pierre-Sylvain Regis, this study explores their radical doctrines rooted in Cartesian philosophy. It analyzes key concepts such as the creation of eternal truths, the intentionality of ideas, and the soul-body union, while situating their work within the broader context of fellow Cartesians like Malebranche and Arnauld. Highlighting the significant yet overlooked role of Desgabets and Regis in the reception of Descartes in early-modern France, this book is a vital resource for scholars of early-modern philosophy and ideas.
