A concluding section examines the problematice role of sensory awaremess om Descartes's account of our knowlege of ourselves and the world around us, and the implication of that account for an understanding of our nature as human beings. The volume is edited by John Cottingham, a leading authority on Descartes, whose introduction provides a clear overview of the issues addressed.
