Review

It is a valuable source of analytical material for a teacher seeking to find a detailed evaluation of Descartes' dualism, or the Ontological Argument. It would also suit keen, able students who want to extend their understanding of the context of Descartes' thought. It represents good value for money and would be a positive additional to a departmental library or for a Philosophy of Religion teacher. * RE Today *
