About Through the Eyes of Descartes

""I shall here present my life," writes Descartes in Discourse on Method, "as in a painting" and my method "as a fable."

It brings together a variety of materials: his metaphysical writings and essays in natural philosophy, through to his letters, drawings, and printed images. Cecilia Sjèoholm and Marcia Sâa Cavalcante Schuback seek to bring Descartes into dialogue with contemporary phenomenology as well as contemporary psychoanalytic thought. They focus on how perception interacts with emotions and thought, and the way in which our gaze is directed toward limit-phenomena of beauty and fascination.
