In this first booklength treatment of Descartes important and influential natural philosophy Daniel Garber is principally concerned with Descartes accounts of matter and motionthe joint between Descartes philosophical and scientific interests These accounts constitute the point at which the metaphysical doctrines on God the soul and body developed in writings like the Meditations give rise to physical conclusions regarding atoms vacua and the laws that matter in motion must obey Garber achieves a philosophically rigorous reading of Descartes that is sensitive to the historical and intellectual context in which he wrote What emerges is a novel view of this familiar figure at once unexpected and truer to the historical Descartes The book begins with a discussion of Descartes intellectual development and the larger project that frames his natural philosophy the complete reform of all the sciences After this introduction Garber thoroughly examines various aspects of Descartes physics the notion of body and its identification with extension Descartes rejection of the substantial forms of the scholastics his relation to the atomistic tradition of atoms and the void the concept of motion and the laws of motion including Descartes conservation principle his laws of the persistence of motion and his collision law and the grounding of his laws in God

Does Descartes belong to metaphysics What do we mean when we say metaphysics These questions form the point of departure for JeanLuc Marions groundbreaking study of Cartesian thought Analyses of Descartes notion of the ego and his idea of God show that if Descartes represents the fullest example of metaphysics he no less transgresses its limits Writing as philosopher and historian of philosophy Marion uses Heideggers concept of metaphysics to interpret the Cartesian corpusan interpretation strangely omitted from Heideggers own history of philosophy This interpretation complicates and deepens the Heideggerian concept of metaphysics a concept that has dominated twentiethcentury philosophy Examinations of Descartes predecessors Aristotle Augustine Aquinas and Suarez and his successors Leibniz Spinoza and Hegel clarify the meaning of the Cartesian revolution in philosophy Expertly translated by Jeffrey Kosky this work will appeal to historians of philosophy students of religion and anyone interested in the genealogy of contemporary thought and its contradictions

Modern physics was born from two great revolutions relativity and the quantum theory Relativity imposed a locality constraint on physical theories since nothing can go faster than light very distant events cannot influence one another Only in the last few decades has it become clear that the quantum theory violates this constraint The work of JS Bell has demonstrated that no local theory can return the predictions of quantum theory Thus it would seem that the central pillars of modern physics are contradictory

This major new study of Descartes explores a number of key issues including his use of experience and reason in science the metaphysical foundations of Cartesian science the Cartesian concept of explanation and proof and an empiricist interpretation of the Regulae and the Discourse Dr Clarke argues that labels such as empiricism and rationalism are useless for understanding Descartes because at least in his scientific methodology he is very much an Aristotelian for whom reflection on ordinary experience is the primary source of scientific hypothesesDescartes traditionally has been presented as a classic example of rationalism in science especially by philosophers who concentrated their attention on the Meditations or the Discourse A different perspective is gained by reading Descartes as a practicing scientist and by examining his scientific work and correspondence with other seventeenthcentury scientists These texts suggest that the author relies very much on experience and in some cases on scientific experiments to support his theories or to dispute those of others Descartes scientific practice is even consistent with a less rationalistic interpretation of the Regulae and the Discourse than is normally defended

All humans see the world in two fundamentally different ways even babies have a rich understanding of both the physical and social worlds They expect objects to obey principles of physics and theyre startled when things disappear or defy gravity Yet they can also read emotions and respond with anger sympathy and joyIn Descartes Baby Bloom draws on a wealth of scientific discoveries to show how these two ways of knowing give rise to such uniquely human traits as humor disgust religion art and morality How our dualist perspective developed throughout our lives profoundly influences our thoughts feelings and actions is the subject of this richly rewarding book
