Argument and Persuasion in Descartes' Meditations
Cunning, David (Associate Professor of Philosophy, Associate Professor of Philosophy, University of Iowa)
This monograph on Descartes' Meditations shows that it is as much about pedagogy as it is about truth. Every single claim of the Meditations is advanced from the first-person point-of-view of Descartes' meditator, who is not a Cartesian at the start of inquiry. Cunning's reading shows that The Meditations is the transcript of his cognitive progress. This new reading of a canonical philosophical text will interest all scholars of earlymodern philosophy.
