Descartes and the Doubting Mind

About Descartes and the Doubting Mind

Descartes' characterisation of the mind as a 'thinking thing' marks the beginning of modern philosophy of mind. It is also the point of departure for Descartes' own system in which the mind is the first object of knowledge for those who reason 'in an orderly way'. This book shows that the Cartesian mind has been widely misunderstood.
