Description

Explore the fundamental shift from medieval thought to modern philosophy with this scholarly work from the Routledge Library Editions: Rene Descartes series. Originally published in 1990, this volume examines how Descartes transformed the concept of human understanding. By analyzing the connections and differences between Descartes' views and high scholasticism, the text reveals how the understanding became autonomous in two distinct ways. This book provides a clear characterization of these two forms of autonomy, helping readers understand the origins of the themes that give modern philosophy its unique coherence. It serves as a vital resource for those studying the transition from medieval philosophical traditions to the distinct era of modern thought. Whether you are a student of theology, philosophy, or the history of ideas, this volume offers a deep look into the intellectual foundations that set modern philosophy apart from its predecessors.
