• Description:
Descartes has often been called the 'father of modern philosophy'. His attempts to find foundations for knowledge and to reconcile the existence of the soul with the emerging science of his time are among the most influential and widely studied in the history of philosophy. This classic and challenging introduction to Descartes by Bernard Williams, one of the most distinguished modern philosophers, analyzes Descartes' project of founding knowledge on certainty and uncovers the philosophical motives behind his search. Williams demonstrates how Descartes' Meditations are not merely a description but the very enactment of philosophical thought and discovery. Key areas covered include God, the will, the possibility of knowledge, and the mind's place in nature, along with significant contributions to the theory of knowledge, metaphysics, and philosophy in general. This edition features a new foreword by John Cottingham.
