Description
Descartes' Dualism by Gordon P. Baker and Katherine J. Morris presents a radical revision of how Descartes' work has been interpreted. The authors argue that, contrary to general consensus within philosophy, Descartes was not a proponent of dualism. Instead, they offer a fresh perspective on his ideas, one that reassesses his historical importance and philosophical significance. In this engaging study, Baker and Morris challenge prevailing views of Descartes' thought, shedding new light on the complexities of his work. The result is a nuanced understanding of Descartes' legacy, one that balances his enduring influence with a more accurate assessment of his philosophical contributions. By reevaluating Descartes' ideas, this book provides a valuable contribution to ongoing debates in philosophy. With its lively prose and thought-provoking arguments, it will appeal to scholars and students interested in the history and development of philosophical thought.
