The author patiently unravels the knotted skeins of ambiguity that have been spun within philosophical modernity out of such clichés as \"Descartes, the abstract modern subject\" and \"Descartes, the father of modern philosophy\"--a figure who is at once everywhere and nowhere. In the process, she revitalizes and reframes the legacy of Cartesian modernity, in a way more mindful of its proto-phenomenological traces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kyoo Lee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0823244849\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780823244843\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fordham University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/10\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2013","brand":"Kyoo Lee","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086979936511,"sku":"9780823244843","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6f9c6c03-604b-4a7d-8491-2a1253d788f4.jpg?v=1769097610","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reading-descartes-otherwise-kyoo-lee-9780823244843","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
