Part I. The unity of Cartesian metaphysics -- 1. Descartes's essentialist metaphysics -- 2. Scepticism, scholasticism and the origins of Descartes's philosophy -- 3. Cartesian real essences -- Part II. Ideas and the road from essence to existence -- 4. Ideas and the world in the mind -- 5. My wax, my intellect and I -- 6. Essentialism and the existence of God -- Part III. Cartesian substances -- 7. The substantial tension -- 8. The essence and the existence of Cartesian substances -- 9. The real distinction or the body and the minds.
"Jorge Secada views Cartesian philosophy as an 'essentialist' reply to the 'existentialism' of the School, and his discussion includes careful analyses and original interpretations of such central Cartesian themes as the role of scepticism, intentionality and the doctrine of the material falsity of ideas, universals and the relation between sense and understanding, causation and the proofs of the existence of God, the theory of substance, and the dualism of mind and matter."--Jacket.
