Sumario:This study serves as an introduction to Descartes's ideas and as a sophisticated companion to his 'Meditations'. The volume provides a thorough discussion of several basic issues of epistemology and metaphysics elicited from the main themes and arguments of the 'Meditations'. It also delves into the work's historical background and critical reception. It offers assessments of the Cartesian Doubt, the cogito, the causal and ontological proofs of God's existence, Cartesian freedom and theodicy, Cartesian Dualism, and Descartes's views about the existence and nature of the material world.
