Description: Brown and Normore show how Descartes accounted for the complex and diverse objects of human experience within his metaphysical system. They argue that, far from reducing them all to two basic categories of substance, mind and body, he recognized irreducible composites that resist reduction and require their own distinctive modes of explanation.

Review Quotes: "An outstanding contribution." -- Fabrizio Baldassarri, Journal of the History of Philosophy
