Descartes: Selected Philosophical Writings

by John Cottingham

Descartes: Selected Philosophical Writings Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Based on the new and much acclaimed two volume Cambridge edition of The Philosophical Writings of Descartes by Cottingham, Stoothoff, and Murdoch, this anthology of essential texts contains the most important and widely studied of those writings, including the Discourse and Meditations and substantial extracts from the Regulae, Optics, Principles, Objections and Replies, Comments on a Broadsheet, and Passions of the Soul.

Synopsis:

This book is a one-volume reader for all English-speaking students of Descartes.

Synopsis:

'This new translation is designed as a replacement for the old but still widely used translation by Elizabeth Haldane and G.R.T. Ross...Unlike the Haldane and Ross edition which was translated from a composite text based on both the French and Latin editions, the present translation is made from the Latin text alone, with significant changes in the French edition indicated in the footnotes.

Synopsis:

This book is planned as the definitive one-volume reader for all English-speaking students of Descartes.
