Their correspondence contains the only known extant philosophical writings by Elisabeth, revealing her mastery of metaphysics, analytic geometry, and moral philosophy, as well as her keen interest in natural philosophy. The letters are essential reading for anyone interested in Descartes's philosophy, in particular his account of the human being as a union of mind and body, as well as his ethics. They also provide a unique insight into the character of their authors and the way ideas develop through intellectual collaboration. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Philosophers have long been familiar with Descartes's side of the correspondence. Now Elisabeth's letters-never before available in translation in their entirety-emerge this volume, adding much-needed context and depth both to Descartes's ideas and the legacy of the princess. Lisa Shapiro's annotated edition-which also includes Elisabeth's correspondence with the Quakers William Penn and Robert Barclay-will be heralded by students of philosophy, feminist theorists, and historians of the early modern period.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLisa Shapiro \u003c\/b\u003eis associate professor of philosophy at Simon Fraser University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 280\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.66 x 8.96 x 6.47 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 01, 2007\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42039034314832,"sku":"9780226204420","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/9540\/0016\/files\/VXkxZldUclVTeUgvTjJCQmdNMlhGdz09.webp?v=1771841263","url":"https:\/\/palm-malen-gift-shop-pmrc.myshopify.com\/products\/the-correspondence-between-princess-elisabeth-of-bohemia-and-rene-descartes-paperback","provider":"Palm Malen Gift Shop -PMRC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
