David Cunning is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Iowa, USA.
'Cunning's Descartes is at once accessible, scholarly, and offers important insights into underappreciated aspects of Descartes' thought. This exceptional book upends the traditional interpretation of Descartes as a deeply committed rationalist philosopher by offering a reinterpretation of Descartes' philosophical work grounded in his very human commitments to living well in light of his philosophical principles. Essential reading for anyone interested in Descartes.' - Kristopher G. Phillips, Southern Utah University, USA
