«René Descartes» is Diego Morillo-Velarde's essay on the French philosopher, published by Edaf Antillas in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
The essay portrays Descartes in the transition from the Renaissance to Modernity and explains his attempt to create a rational system integrating philosophy and science. From doubt, he combats earlier philosophies and proposes consciousness as man's new territory, going on to address knowledge, the soul, God, passions, and morality.
Originally published in 2001 within the Edaf Ensayo line. The cover reproduces a portrait of Descartes (1596-1650).
For readers interested in modern philosophy, history of thought, and in Descartes as a precursor of rationalism.
