Publisher description
This volume contains the excellent and popular Elizabeth S. Haldane and
G.R.T. Ross translation of Rene Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy ,
and in addition a portion of the Replies to Objections II in which Descartes
discusses how the method employed in the Meditations , which he calls
'analysis', differs from the method of 'synthesis' employed by the general
geometer. In the Editor's introduction, Stanley Tweyman provides a fresh and
detailed discussion of the relationship between Descartes' Rule for the
Direction of the Mind and the method of 'analysis', insofar as each has
application to the Meditations . The six critical papers which Tweyman has
drawn together in this book present a broad and exegetical commentary on the
Meditations and give an indication of the diversity of scholarly opinion which
exists on the topic of method in Descartes' philosophy. An extensive
bibliography is also included. Includes the translation by Haldane and Ross of Descartes' "Meditations on
First Philosophy", an introduction by Tweyman and six articles indicating the
diversity of scholarly opinion on the topic of method in Descartes'
philosophy.
