Cartesian Substances
In Metaphysical Themes 1274–1671. New York: Oxford University Press. pp. 135-158 (2011)
Abstract
This chapter locates Descartes's theory of substance in the context of its scholastic background. It argues that the wax passage from the _Meditations_ should be read as an argument for an enduring material substance beneath the wax's accidents.Author's Profile
