Often called ‘the father of modern philosophy’, René Descartes’ contributions to philosophy, mathematics and natural science set the intellectual agenda for the seventeenth century. In this biography and assessment of his works, based on the most up-to-date research, Steven Nadler follows Descartes from his early years and education in France to the Dutch Republic, where he lived most of his adult life, to his final months as tutor to Queen Christina of Sweden.Nadler shows how Descartes’ ‘renewal’ of philosophy involved a transformation in both the way in which philosophy is done and the fundamental understanding of the cosmos, the natural world and human nature. His work was a springboard for many of the metaphysical and epistemological problems that continue to engage philosophers today.

Descartes: The Renewal of Philosophy is a masterly account of one of the best-known figures of modern philosophy. Steven Nadler shows us the steps in the expressions of Descartes’ ideas as they emerged during a life itself in rapid motion: from the young gentleman’s French education, to his travels throughout Europe in the midst of the Thirty Years War, to his self-imposed exile in the Dutch Republic where he wrote and published, to his death at the court of Queen Christina in Sweden. Along the way, Nadler lets us see not only Descartes’ views but the nature of the threats he posed for Scholastically inclined theologians of his day. A clear, distinct, and lively guide.
