Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -René Descartes (1596-1650) is well-known for his introspective turn away from sensible bodies and toward non-sensory ideas of mind, body, and God. Such a turn is appropriate, Descartes supposes, but only once in the course of life, and only to arrive at a more accurate picture of reality that we then incorporate in everyday embodied life. In this clear and engaging book David Cunning introduces and examines the full range of Descartes' philosophy. A central focus of the book is Descartes' view that embodied human beings become more perfect to the degree that they move in the direction of finite approximations of independence, activity, immutability, and increased knowledge. Beginning with an introduction and a chapter on Descartes' life and works, Cunning also addresses the following key topics:Descartes on the wonders of the material universeskepticism as epistemic garbage, and the easy dissolution of hyperbolic doubtDescartes' three arguments for the existence of Godthe ontology of possibility and necessityfreedom and embodimentarguments for the immateriality of mindsensible bodies and the pragmatic certainty by which to navigate themDescartes' stoic view on how best to live.Descartes is an outstanding introduction to one of the greatest of Western philosophers. Including a chronology, suggestions for further reading, and a glossary of key terms, it is essential reading for anyone studying Descartes and the history of modern philosophy. 426 pp. Englisch.
