{"product_id":"descartes-among-the-scholastics-roger-ariew-9789004207240","title":"Descartes Among the Scholastics","description":"\u003ci\u003eDescartes among the Scholastics\u003c\/i\u003e takes the position that philosophical systems cannot be studied adequately apart from their intellectual context: philosophers accept, modify, or reject doctrines whose meaning and significance are given in a particular culture. Thus, the volume treats Cartesian philosophy as a reaction against, as well as an indebtedness to, scholastic philosophy and touches on many topics shared by Cartesian and late scholastic philosophy: matter and form, causation, infinity, place, time, void, and motion; the substance of the heavens; principles of metaphysics (such as unity, principle of individuation, truth and falsity). One moves from within Cartesian philosophy and its intellectual context in the seventeenth century, to living philosophical debate between Descartes and his contemporaries, to its first reception.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScientific and Learned Cultures and Their Institutions\u003c\/i\u003e, 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roger Ariew\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004207244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004207240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/22\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.60w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2011 pg. 3","brand":"Roger Ariew","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440415584511,"sku":"9789004207240","price":172.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0d542159-49c9-41f2-baf6-e7e59fb098eb.jpg?v=1777182297","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/descartes-among-the-scholastics-roger-ariew-9789004207240","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
