Descartes'
Natural Philosophy
Edited by Stephen Gaukroger, John Schuster, and John Sutton (Routledge,
2000), pp.xii + 767: you
can order it at Amazon here
or in the Routledge catalogue here.
This book places Descartes' scientific projects,
rather than his metaphysics or epistemology, at the centre of his
philosophical concerns. Descartes' picture of the
natural world admits
of surprising complexity, with both his cosmology and his physiology
modelled on the dynamics of fluids. Rejecting the tired caricature by
which Descartes' dualism left nature and the human
body as barren,
inert matter to be dominated by active ghostly soul, the authors in
contrast focus on the
details of the links Descartes sought to forge
between
physics, medicine, and ethics. Among the topics covered are mechanics
and meteorology, optics and
experimental method, anatomy and
embryology, and theories of imagination, perception, and the passions.
