Review # 1 was written on 2011-10-18 00:00:00 Angela B. Russotto I read the middle section of this well written, very detailed discussion of Kant in the context of the late eighteenth century. I had imagined Kant as an advocate of a non-mechanistic way of viewing people. It seems that Kant was struggling with the difficulty putting our inclination to view organisms as purposive in the mechanistic world view he had adopted from Newton.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-12-02 00:00:00 Ken Vo A good introduction into Descartes' life and philosophy. The book was very simplistically written and thus easy to understand. And I like that Sorell described Descartes' philosophy and how it evolved through time by following a biographical format of story telling.
