Argument and Persuasion in Descartes' Meditations - David (Associate Professor of Philosophy Cunning - Bog

This monograph on Descartes' Meditations shows that it is as much about pedagogy as it is about truth. Every single claim of the Meditations is advanced from the first-person point-of-view of Descartes' meditator, who is not a Cartesian at the start of inquiry. Cunning's reading shows that The Meditations is the transcript of his cognitive progress. This new reading of a canonical philosophical text will interest all scholars of early
modern philosophy.
