Description

Antoine Arnauld (1612-94) was one of the most brilliant and important thinkers of the 17th century. A leading theologian and Cartesian philosopher, he is chiefly remembered for his celebrated disbute with Nicolas Malebranche, his constructive criticisms of Descartes, and the logic text which he wrote with Pierre Nicole - "La Logique, ou l'art de penser" (1662), best known as the "Port-Royal Logic". The Thoemmes Press collection "Oeuvres Philosophiques d'Arnauld" extracts the specifically philosophical parts of Arnauld's works from the predominantly theological 43-volume "Oeuvres de Messire Antoine Arnauld" (1775), which is long out of print and hard to find. The material, selected and introduced by Arnauld scholars Elmar J. Kremer and Denis Moreau, is composed of Arnauld's key philosophical writings and selections from his voluminous correspondence. Volume 6 includes correspondence with Malebranche from the "Oeuvres", in addition to the Arnauld-Leibniz correspondence originally published in Gerhardt's "Die philosophischen Schriften von G.W. Leibniz". This six-volume set should be of interest to both historians of ideas and to present-day philosophers, who will find the French writer's views on intentionality and perception relevant to 21st-century debates.
