Descartes's Fictions: Reading Philosophy with Poetics
Gilby, Emma (Senior Lecturer in French, Senior Lecturer in French, University of Cambridge)
Emma Gilby reassesses Descartes's writing by bringing his philosophical output into contact with the literary treatises, exempla, and debates of his age. She argues that humanist theorizing about poetics represents a vital intellectual context for Descartes's work, and offers readings of the controversies to which this poetic theory gives rise.
