Review:
Provides an excellent introduction. . . . This book will be as useful to beginners as to seasoned academics because it brings together eleven articles that are both clear and profound. . . . The organization of the book is both simple and efficient, and the brief introduction and the bibliography are well done.--J. M. Beyssade, Sorbonne, University of Paris The high quality essays in this reader are carefully arranged to parallel the plot of the Meditations. It is a valuable guide for students of Descartes's most famous philosophical work.--Alan Nelson, University of California, Irvine
