Toward the destructive power of skepticism, the creative power of God and the powers of spirits, machines, lives and brains
Descartes conducted research on the philosophy of "myself" and "God." This book integrates the quarter-century studies that focus on his entire philosophy and facilitate its maximum potentials. "I feel that I dimly see the entire philosophy of Descartes and scenarios of its interpretations. I hope that readers of this book will more clearly find its potential scenarios including the creditworthiness." (Excerpt from the book)
