Between Two Worlds: A Reading of Descartes's Meditations
"Between Two Worldsdisplays a very strong and textually based reading. It would have enormous value to those with a serious interest in understanding Descartes."--Michael Pereira,Metapsychology.net"Carriero offers a powerful and controversial explanation. . . . Because of its systematic ability to deepen our understanding of every aspect of theMeditations,Between Two Worldssets the standard for interpretations of theMeditationsfor the foreseeable future."--Michael Della Rocca,Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews"Like the best philosophical writing, Carriero's book constantly stimulates reflections that take us beyond the minutiae of textual interpretation to wider philosophical (and indeed theological) issues. This is not to say that the work is lacking in scholarly detail; on the contrary, it is marked from first to last by the most meticulous attention to the text. . . . [Carriero] creates for the reader a delightful sense of being alone with Descartes as he wrestles with Aquinas--a contest of champions, beautifully described."--John Cottingham,Mind"Between Two Worldsis a real achievement: a wonderful combination of philosophical insight and close textual analysis; from now on an essential vade mecum for any serious reader of theMeditations."--RogerWoolhouse,European Legacy
