Reviews
There is much of interest in The Will to Reason. A central issue is whether or not to assemble Descartes' view of human freedom before or after a consideration of his philosophical views on divine providence. Ragland is correct that if Descartes allows for libertarian freedom, he also makes room in his system for trouble that it could do without. David Cunning, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Online
"""[Rangland's book] is elegant and nuanced. It is an achievement that ought to influence subsequent Cartesian scholarship."" -- Curtis Hancock, Review of Metaphysics ""There is much of interest in The Will to Reason.
