Reviews

'... the best book in the English language on the Meditations ... Historical scholarship does not get any better.' David Glidden, Ancient Philosophy '... a brilliant piece of research in the history of philosophy which will surely be a work to be read and reckoned with by future students of Descartes and Augustine.' The Modern Schoolman '... a fresh and excitingly bold reading of Descartes ... Stephen Menn's wonderful book makes Augustine's Fourth Century much less remote from Descartes's seventeenth century than we had thought it was.' Philosophy in Review
