      Focusing on unreconstructed Cartesianism, Thomas Sorell aims to rehabilitate its often-dismissed views within analytic philosophy. He interprets and revises these ideas, addressing critiques from contemporary philosophy. By presenting a realistic portrayal of Cartesianism, Sorell identifies its defensible aspects and highlights the connections between historical and analytic philosophy, showing how certain contemporary analytic approaches are rooted in Cartesian thought.

      The book critiques the increasing influence of scientism in philosophy while advocating for the importance of the arts and humanities. Tom Sorell argues that philosophy should not be conflated with science, opposing recent naturalistic trends that attempt to redefine philosophical inquiry through a scientific lens. He emphasizes the unique value of philosophical thought distinct from scientific methodology.

      Scientism
    • René Descartes gilt als der Vater der neuzeitlichen Philosophie. Seine wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse auf dem Gebiet der Physik, Mathematik und Psychologie wirken bis auf den heutigen Tag nach. Die aufschlussreiche Einführung zeigt, wie nachhaltig und prägend sich seine Trennung von Geist und Materie auf die Entwicklung von Geisteswissenschaften und Naturwissenschaften ausgewirkt hat.
