Argument and persuasion in Descartes' Meditations
Descartes' 'Meditations on First Philosophy' has proven to be not only one of the canonical texts of Western philosophy, but also the site of a great deal of interpretive activity in scholarship on the history of early modern philosophy over the last two decades. David Cunning's monograph proposes a new interpretation.
