Description: On developing this perspective on the Meditations, the author presents and defends interpretations of familiar Cartesian arguments, as well as of other doctrines which have received less attention. She maintains that the different phases of the argument of the Meditations have often been misinterpreted because of insufficient attention to the objectives of the work as a whole and the relations of the individual arguments to these objectives. While concentrating on the Meditations, she also draws extensively from Descartes's other works, and from his correspondence.
