Cartesiana. Primer encuentro Franco-Iberoamericano
La vigencia irrecusable del pensamiento cartesiano revela su sentido propiamente filosófico porque, lejos de suscitar la mera admiración o las loas escolares a la genialidad del ‘padre de la modernidad’, nos invita y exige preguntarnos los porqués de dicha vigencia, de los que el presente libro da testimonio. Las razones comprometen no solo a lo que se conoce como la ‘modernidad de la filosofía’, sino también a la filosofía contemporánea de la modernidad. Al respecto, cabe constatar dos hechos históricos, bien conocidos y notorios, pero que todavía nos convocan e interrogan: la ruptura y a la vez la continuidad que, como pocos, el pensamiento de Descartes instaura. Ruptura, ...
Elisabeth of Bohemia (1618–1680): A Philosopher in her Historical Context
This book showcases Elisabeth of Bohemia, Princess Palatine (1618-1680), one of the foremost female minds of the 17th century. Best known today for her important correspondence with the philosopher René Descartes, Elisabeth was famous in her own time for her learning, philosophical acumen, and mathematical brilliance.

Descartes' Bones
Sixteen years after René Descartes' death in Stockholm in 1650, a pious French ambassador exhumed the remains of the controversial philosopher to transport them back to Paris. Thus began a 350-year saga that saw Descartes' bones traverse a continent, passing between kings, philosophers, poets, and painters. But as Russell Shorto shows in this deeply engaging book, Descartes' bones also played a role in some of the most momentous episodes in history, which are also part of the philosopher's metaphorical remains: the birth of science, the rise of democracy, and the earliest debates between reason and faith. Descartes' Bones is a flesh-and-blood story about the battle between religion and rationalism that rages to this day. A New York Times Notable Book
