Descartes on the limited usefulness of mathematics
Logic and Knowledge
This chapter traces how Rene Descartes's distinctive and immeasurably influential theory of logic and knowledge grew in scope and sophistication as it came under increasing pressure from critics and from Descartes's own demands on it.
