Compare Descartes and the Enlightenment by Peter A. Schouls, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Schouls limits himself to a discussion of these three concepts in order to escape facile and vague generalizations. For the same reason, in relating Descartes to eighteenth-century thinkers, Schouls limits his attention to a single part of the spectrum of acknowledged Enlightenment reflection, the French "philosopes." From their writings he demonstrates that they are, and acknowledge themselves to be, Descartes' progeny. | Descartes and the Enlightenment by Peter A. Schouls, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
