Treatise on Man

A new 2023 translation directly from the original manuscripts into English of Descartes' famous 1622 Treatise on Man (sometimes translated "Treatise of Man"). This edition contains a new introduction and afterword from the translator, as well as a timeline of Descartes' life and summaries of each of his works. Here, Descartes explores the nature of human beings, their place in the world, and how they interact with their environment. It is significant because it established the idea of dualism, the belief that the mind and body are separate entities. This idea has had a profound significant impact on both philosophy and psychology, as it directly influenced Freud.
