Index, bibliographical note. "E. M. Curley is known for his skill at lucid exposition and cogen analysis of seventeenth-century philosophy. In this book he turns to Descartes, who remains a central figure in the Western philosophical tradition. While dealing with most of Descartes' seminal contributions, he concentrates on the issues that pose special problems for modern students: the dream argument, knowledge of one's own existence and mental states, the circle, the arguments for God's existence, and the claim that mind and body are distinct." from front jacket flap. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall .
