Dream of Descartes

The late Gregor Sebba was fond of describing his monumentalBibliographia Cartesiana: A Critical Guide to the Descartes Literature, 18001960as a by-product of his research begun in 1949 for an article he had in mind titledThe Dream of Descartes. The bibliography has been indispensable to Descartes scholars since its appearance in 1964. When Sebba died in 1985, his manuscript forThe Dream of Descarteswas still unfinished. Here, with materials provided by Anibal A. Bueno, Richard H. Popkin, and Helen Sebba, Richard A. Watson presents the completed work based on a 1973 draft, letters, outlines, and other manuscript material. The result is a fascinating analysis of Descartes' dreams as seminal in the creative process of genius.Sebba, Gregor is the author of 'Dream of Descartes' with ISBN 9780809314133 and ISBN 0809314134.
