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. Volume I is devoted to questions of Cartesian methods and epistemology, and volumes II and III concentrate on his metaphysics, the keystone of the edifice. Descartes saw his system stretching beyond that of philosophy into mathematics and science and this is reflected within volume IV.
