Descartes entre o Possível e o Necessário: Sobre a Livre Criação das Verdades Eternas
Existe um mundo possível em que este livro não foi escrito. Existe outro mundo possível em que ele foi escrito, mas você não o leu. Existe ainda outro em que você o leu e o usou como apoio para o mouse durante algum tempo. E muitos outros. Será que faz sentido falar nesses mundos possíveis? Ou será que o mundo em que vivemos é o único possível? Essas são questões bastante discuti-das contemporaneamente, mas que remontam, historicamente, a Leibniz, e de maneira mais discreta e seminal, podemos dizer, a Descartes.

Although it is generally argued that Renaissance and early modern theories of mixed constitution derived from the revival of cl...
Descartes’s Mathematical Thought
Covering both the history of mathematics and of philosophy, Descartes's Mathematical Thought reconstructs the intellectual career of Descartes most comprehensively and originally in a global perspective including the history of early modern China and Japan. Especially, it shows what the concept of "mathesis universalis" meant before and during the period of Descartes and how it influenced the young Descartes. In fact, it was the most fundamental mathematical discipline during the seventeenth century, and for Descartes a key notion which may have led to his novel mathematics of algebraic analysis.
