Descartes presents his life in "Discourse on Method" as a painting, and his method as a fable. Through the Eyes of Descartes explores how a Cartesian aesthetics is woven into his thought. It brings together a diverse range of materials, including his metaphysical writings, natural philosophy essays, letters, drawings, and printed images.
Cecilia Sjöholm and Marcia Sá Cavalcante Schuback aim to engage Descartes in dialogue with contemporary phenomenology and psychoanalytic thought. They focus on the interplay between perception, emotions, and thought, as well as how our gaze is directed towards the phenomena of beauty and fascination.
In Through the Eyes of Descartes, Cecilia Sjöholm and Marcia Sá Cavalcante Schuback challenge the traditional portrayal of Descartes by presenting him in a new light: as a Descartes of the arts, sensibility, inner images, and imagination. They offer a fresh perspective on his work, highlighting its artistic, sensory, and imaginative aspects.
Through the Eyes of Descartes provides a valuable contribution to the study of Descartes and his philosophy. It offers a comprehensive exploration of his ideas and demonstrates how they can be relevant to contemporary thought. By presenting his work in a new light, the book encourages readers to reevaluate his ideas and consider their implications in various fields, including the arts, psychology, and philosophy of mind.
