Descartes: A Very Short Introduction - Very Short Introductions
Sorell, Tom (Professor of Philosophy, Professor of Philosophy, University of Essex)
René Descartes (1596-1650) had a remarkably short working life, and his output was small, yet his contributions to philosophy and science have endured to the present day. In this book Tom Sorell shows that Descartes was, above all, an advocate and practitioner of a new mathematical approach to physics, and that he developed his metaphysics to support his programme in the sciences.
