Description

Rene Descartes (1596-1650) fundamentally shaped Western philosophy through his exploration of mind, body, and God, moving beyond sensible experience toward non-sensory ideas. This Routledge Philosophers volume by David Cunning provides a clear and engaging introduction to the full range of Descartes' philosophical work. The book examines Descartes' central conviction that embodied human beings achieve greater perfection by directing themselves toward finite understanding rather than infinite complexity. Cunning's analysis reveals how Descartes believed the introspective turn inward should occur only once in life, serving to deepen our understanding of reality so we can better engage with everyday embodied existence. Ideal for students and philosophers seeking to understand Descartes' enduring influence on modern thought, epistemology, and the philosophy of mind.

Key Features

The Routledge Philosophers series edition offers an accessible yet comprehensive exploration of Descartes' complete philosophical system and contributions.

Author David Cunning provides clear analysis of Descartes' views on mind, body, and God without requiring advanced prior knowledge of his work.

The book examines how Descartes believed embodied human beings achieve perfection through intellectual development and directed thought.

Suitable for philosophy students, academics, and readers interested in the history of Western philosophy and epistemology from the 17th century onward.
