This book decodes Descartes' argument for distinguishing between the trio, while maintaining their integration in a human being. It argues that Descartes constructed a solution whereby the trio are interdependent, yet remain each a genuine individual subject.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A very interesting book that captures some very important and neglected elements of Descarte's thought. ...an interesting and thought-provoking attempt to spell out in contemporary terms ideas Almog finds in Descartes.\"--Mind\u003cbr\u003e\"A major work in several areas of philosophy, including the history of philosophy, philosophy of mind, and metaphysics. The book is well-conceived, well-written, and elegantly argued. Indeed, I know of no book since Kripke's Naming and Necessity that presents these issues as clearly or that promises as important a realignment of our intuitions on some of these issues.\"--Stephen White, Tufts University\u003cbr\u003e\"An important addition to scholarship on Descartes, Almog's account reaches back to and includes Arnauld, Caterus, and Gassendi as well as Saul Kripke; he treats all these commentators thoughtfully. It will be difficult, after reading this, for anyone to believe that Descartes espouses any simple or straightforward two-substance-in-one-man view. College and university libraries should not be without this books.\"--CHOICE","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51766893707607,"sku":"9780195177190","price":23.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780195177190.jpg?v=1758711585","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/what-am-i-descartes-and-the-mindbody-problem-9780195177190","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
