Contents:
Introduction: radical Cartesianism in context -- Robert Desgabets. Desgabets's Considérations, Arnauld, and Cartesianism -- Three radical doctrines. The creation doctrine: indefectible material substance and God ; The intentionality doctrine: ideas and extra-mental objects ; The union doctrine: temporal human thought and motion -- Pierre-Sylvain Regis. Huet's Censura, Malebranche, and platonism -- Conclusion: 'a forgotten branch of Cartesianism'.
Summary: This is the first book-length study of two of Descartes's most innovative successors, Desgabets and Regis, and of their highly original contributions to Cartesianism. The book establishes the important though neglected role played by Desgabets and Regis in the theologically and politically charged reception of Descartes in early-modern France.
