Review

"With its crisp translations, its clear introductions to often obscure primary sources, and its pedagogical concern to link these texts to perennial issues in interpreting the Meditations, this sourcebook should serve as an excellent text in a graduate or honors seminar focused on Descartes." International Philosophical Quarterly

Book Description

The texts gathered here illustrate the kinds of principles, assumptions, and philosophical methods that were commonplace when Descartes was growing up and shaped the writing of Descartes' Meditations. The purpose of the series Cambridge Philosophical Texts in Context is to allow students to comprehend the context in which these texts emerged by providing the primary materials that are their source and intellectual background.
