Description

Explore the foundations of modern thought with Descartes and Method: A Search for a Method in Meditations: 2. Part of the Routledge Studies in Seventeenth-Century Philosophy series, this academic work addresses a long-standing debate in the history of philosophy. While Rene Descartes often claimed his success in mathematics, physics, and philosophy stemmed from a universal method of inquiry, he never provided a formal, systematic description of that process. Authors Daniel E. Flage and Clarence A. Bonnen challenge the traditional view that Descartes lacked a clear method. Through a rigorous and thorough examination of his scattered remarks, they build a systematic account of how his method functions, specifically looking at its role within the Meditations. This book provides a fresh perspective for students and scholars of seventeenth-century philosophy, offering a clear argument against orthodox conceptions of Cartesian inquiry. It is an essential resource for anyone studying the history of science and the development of philosophical methodology.
