Reviews
Overall, Schmaltz succeeds admirably in complicating--and I mean this in a good sense--our view of early modern Cartesianism. The story he tells, with great scholarly care, adds nuance to our understanding of what was happening in the seventeenth century when we turn our attention from marquee figures like Spinoza, Locke and Leibniz and consider the philosophical journeymen who worked hard to keep Descartes's system--if not in all its details--vital. -- <em>Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews</em>

Range, scholarship and clarity will make EMC of interest to many readers. Descartes-scholars will learn from it how malleable the thought of the master became in the hands of his disciples. Specialists of the eighteenth century will welcome this review of the many areas in which both the French and Dutch Enlightenment remained indebted to Descartes. Every philosophical library will need a copy. * Science et Esprit *
