Quotations on DTOI

Lex Newman: "Descartes's transformation of the notion of ideas deeply influenced subsequent thinking about their nature and epistemic significance in philosophical inquiry." (Ch. 7 "Theories of Ideas" in The Routledge Companion to Seventeenth Century Philosophy, edited by Dan Kaufman, 195–223. New York: Routledge, 2018.)

Georges Dicker: "However, unlike Aquinas’s arguments, Descartes’s proofs cannot appeal to any of God’s eﬀects in the physical world; for remem-ber that at this point in the Meditations, the existence of the entire physical world is still in doubt. Accordingly, Descartes’s strategy is to argue from the idea

of God that he ﬁnds in his mind to God as the cause of that idea." (Georges Dicker, Descartes: An Historical and Analytical Introduction, 2013)
