Reviews

[Clarke's] account of Descartes on the workings of the human body and brain is intelligent and informative. His discussion of dualism is philosophically informed and suggestive. His biography is massively knowledgeable and erudite, bringing together recent discoveries and revealing many facts about Descartes' life. Jorge Secada, The Philosophical Quarterly 'Descartes's scientific ambitions were, to be sure, a crucial part of his philosophical project, and Clarkes careful and persuasive exploration of them provides an important addition to the literature' John Cottingham, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
