Book Description:
|
This is the first book to give an analysis of Descartes's pivotal concept dealing with all the functions of the mind--cognitive as well as volitional, theoretical as well as practical and moral. Alanen shows how Descartes's emphasis on the embodiment of the mind has implications more complex and interesting than the usual dualist account suggests.
