The author aims to provide an understanding of the development, content and presentation of two aspects of Descartes’ philosophy of the human immortality and body, and soul union. It combines close textual analysis with a consideration of the philosophical arguments and the theological background against which these arguments were developed. This contextual approach enables him to provide new insights into the nature of Descartes’ philosophy, and of early modern philosophy more generally.
