It would have enormous value to those with a serious interest in understanding Descartes.\"--Michael Pereira, Metapsychology.net \"Carriero offers a powerful and controversial explanation... Because of its systematic ability to deepen our understanding of every aspect of the Meditations, Between Two Worlds sets the standard for interpretations of the Meditations for the foreseeable future.\"--Michael Della Rocca, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews \"Like the best philosophical writing, Carriero's book constantly stimulates reflections that take us beyond the minutiae of textual interpretation to wider philosophical (and indeed theological) issues. This is not to say that the work is lacking in scholarly detail; on the contrary, it is marked from first to last by the most meticulous attention to the text... [Carriero] creates for the reader a delightful sense of being alone with Descartes as he wrestles with Aquinas--a contest of champions, beautifully described.\"--John Cottingham, Mind \"Between Two Worlds is a real achievement: a wonderful combination of philosophical insight and close textual analysis; from now on an essential vade mecum for any serious reader of the Meditations.\"--RogerWoolhouse, European Legacy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface ix  Note on Translations xv  Introduction 1  Chapter 1: The First Meditation 27  Chapter 2: The Second Meditation 65  Chapter 3: (I) The Third Meditation: The Truth Rule and the \"Chief and Most Common Mistake\" 128  Chapter 3: (II) The Third Meditation: Two Demonstrations of God's Existence 168  Chapter 4: The Fourth Meditation 223  Chapter 5: The Fifth Meditation 280  Chapter 6: The Sixth Meditation 359  Notes 427  Bibliography 489  Index Locorum 495  Subject Index 505","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49403757429079,"sku":"9780691135618","price":31.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780691135618.jpg?v=1730484453","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/between-two-worlds-9780691135618","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
