Abstract

Sixth in the Harvard Monographs in the History of Science Series, this volume is both an excellent addition to the history of science and to Cartesian studies. Taking E. Gilson’s Index scholastico-cartésien for his inspiration, Hall offers us, by way of an excellent and well-documented set of annotations to his translation, an interesting view of the place of Descartes’ work in the history of science. Contained in the volume are: a foreword by I. Bernard Cohen ; a list of abbreviations; an introduction; a synopsis of the physiology of Descartes; a synopsis of the contents of the first French edition of 1664; a list of bibliographical materials containing editions of the Treatise of Man and secondary sources "for the study of Descartes’ physiology;" the English translation and commentary; a facsimile of the first French edition; an index.
