{"product_id":"descartes","title":"Descartes","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this new introduction to the life, thought and works of one of the greatest seventeenthcentury philosophers, John Cottingham aims to place Descartes  ideas in their historical context while at the same time showing how they relate to a network of philosophical problems that are still vigorously debated today.Separate chapters are devoted to Descartes  life and the intellectual climate of his times; the Cartesian method; the reconstruction of knowledge from self to God and to the external world; Descartes  theory of the material universe; his account of mind and body; and his psychology and theory of the will and passions.While doing justice to the complexities of Descartes  thought, the book presupposes no philosophical training, and all technical philosophical notions are explained in such a way as to be intelligible to the firstyear student or general reader.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47334936641781,"sku":"SONG0631150463","price":22.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/71eSVs8zy-L.jpg?v=1763975334","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/descartes","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
