Recenzii

One of the most pleasing features of this collection is the rather striking, and often controversial, nature of the theses being defended. There is no doubt that the authors have detailed knowledge of Descartes' corpus and a deep understanding of the issues involved in their subjects. ... It is clear that the authors wanted to focus on those topics that most benefitted from Desmond Clarke's work, and this was done very well.
