The Nature of the Mind
In Stephen Gaukroger (ed.), Blackwell Guide to Descartes’ Meditations (2006)
| Abstract | IN this paper I explain how Descartes's conception of the mind was novel in relation to Aristotelian scholasticism. I also argue against the standard view that Descartes believed in transparency of the mental, the view that one cannot make mistakes about one's own mental states. | |||||||||
