Zusammenfassung:Cloth, $140.00-This book explores the main themes of Descartes's metaphysics, depicting them as the fruit of the will's struggle to escape from the influence of preconceived opinion into the true liberty of alignment with reason. Christofidou writes here for scholars who know the secondary literature on Descartes as well as the broader history of modem philosophy (especially Kant); however, interested nonspecialist philosophers or graduate students will follow her arguments and should find Christofidou's perspective on Descartes invigorating.
