Rezension zu „Descartes and the Doubting Mind “
A careful account of the most valuable parts of Descartes's work. Clearly and economically written, it is scholarly, but not weighed down by scholarship; which makes it a valuable guide for both beginners and more advanced students of Descartes. -- Professor David Berman, Department of Philosophy, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland In a careful and well-informed reading, JamesHill argues that Descartes' account of mind is no afterthought of his physics,but is instead a well-conceived consequence of the same method that grounds hisphysics, the method of doubt. This is an excellent and important book. -- Margaret Atherton, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, USA Throughout this short volume, James Hill writes with authority and clarity. He seems to assume the reader has little previous knowledge of the topic and its components, resulting in an argument accessible to newcomers yet specialized enough to engage those well-versed in the field. Descartes and the Doubting Mind is an important addition to the field of philosophy, particularly for those interested in empiricist/rationalist arguments. -- Obsense
