The 'Censura' is the most comprehensive, unrelenting, and devastating critique of Descartes ever published. Anticipating the issues that have occupied Cartesian scholarship for the past half-century, Huet argues at length that Descartes's philosophy fails on many counts: his methodology of doubting; the reliability of his famous 'cogita' (I think, therefore I am); clarity and distinctness as criteria of truth; his proofs for the existence of God; the circularity of his main argument in the 'Meditations'; and numerous other points. Complete with an extensive introduction explaining the circumstances, history, and importance of the work; a brief biography of its fascinating author; and helpful scholarly annotations; this translation of Huet's 'Censura' brings to light an important philosophical work that has been neglected for more than three hundred years.Huet, Pierre-Daniel is the author of 'Against Cartesian Philosophy' with ISBN 9781591021025 and ISBN 1591021022.
