Abstract:
In these wide-ranging essays Paul Hoffman argues that Descartes retains three Aristotelian doctrines: soul and body are related as form to matter; an agent's action is the same as the patient's passion; cognition is possible because things that exist in the world can exist in the soul in another way.
