During the past 30 years Berkeley scholars and commentators have produced articles and books on almost every aspect and feature of Berkeley's work. There is, however, hardly any central aspect of Berkeley's theories about which commentators might be said to be in agreement: but it is not difficult to identify several kinds of dialectical development.

This anthology brings together many of the more significant contributions to Cartesian scholarship, some of which reach as far back as the 1930s. Altogether, there are well over 100 detailed analyses and discussions of numerous salient aspects of Descartes' promethean legacy.

This book should be of interest to teachers and students of literature, critical theory, philosophy and psychoanalysis.
