Descartes

Kenny's Descartes is notably good & important book. He says it is "designed to help undergraduate and graduate students in understanding Descartes' philosphy". The book concentrates on Descartes' epistemology, metaphysics & philosophy of mind. The penultimate chapter, on Matter & Motion, contains a sucinct account of Descartes' mechanism & a critique of the a priori side of his natural philosophy.PrefaceLife & worksCartesian doubtCogito ergo sumSum res cogitansIdeasThe idea of GodThe ontological arguementreason & intuitionmatter & motionMind & bodyNotesFor Further ReadingIndex
