About this title

Review:

'Gaukroger's book provides many insights into the sturcture and function of Descartes' natural philosophy and should provoke fruitful discussions in the relevant areas of Cartesian and Early Modern study.' Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

'Descartes scholars everywhere will welcome this book.' Endeavour

' ... the book is much recommended. Descartes' System performs a badly needed job proficiently, and everyone who cares about Descartes or early modern natural philosophy should read it.' Oxford Academic Journals

Book Description:

Towards the end of his life, Descartes published the first four parts of a projected six-part work, The Principles of Philosophy. This was intended to be the definitive statement of his complete system of philosophy. In this book, Gaukroger examines the whole system, and reconstructs the last two parts from Descartes' other writings.
