About this product

Product Information

Perhaps the most famous proposition in the history of philosophy is Descartes' cogito "I think therefore I am." Husain Sarkar claims in this provocative new interpretation of Descartes that the ancient tradition of reading the cogito as an argument is mistaken. It should, he says, be read as an intuition. Through this new interpretative lens, Sarkar reconsiders key Cartesian topics. He demonstrates how Descartes' attempt to prove the existence of God is foiled by a new Cartesian Circle.

Reviews
"...a very interesting and thought-provoking book that combines a systematic presentation and critique of the main ways of reading the cogito as an argument with a new approach to the Cartesian writings...as the author intended, a 'fresh perspective'." Philosophy in Review, 'The first original interpretation of the Meditations to appear since the studies of Margaret Wilson and Bernard Williams in the 1970s. Husain Sarkar's handling of the Cartesian argument brings a new level of sophistication to the discussion of this classic text.' Catherine Wilson, University of British Columbia, 'The first original interpretation of the Meditations to appear since the studies of Margaret Wilson and Bernard Williams in the 1970s. Husain Sarkar's handling of the Cartesian argument brings a â€¦ level of sophistication to the discussion of this classic text.' Catherine Wilson, University of British Columbia, "Sarkar moves, with care and erudition, through several centuries of scholarly examination of the cogito; most convincingly, he builds the case for its importance to Descartes' philosophy as a whole.... Highly recommended." Choice, 'The first original interpretation of the Meditations to appear since the studies of Margaret Wilson and Bernard Williams in the 1970s. Husain Sarkar's handling of the Cartesian argument brings a ... level of sophistication to the discussion of this classic text.' Catherine Wilson, University of British Columbia
