Through the Eyes of Descartes
Indiana University Press (Verlag)
978-0-253-06822-4 (ISBN)
Cecilia Sjöholm and Marcia Sá Cavalcante Schuback seek to bring Descartes into dialogue with contemporary phenomenology as well as contemporary psychoanalytic thought. They focus on how perception interacts with emotions and thought, and the way in which our gaze is directed toward limit-phenomena of beauty and fascination.
In Through the Eyes of Descartes, Cecilia Sjöholm and Marcia Sá Cavalcante Schuback counter the traditional picture of Descartes by presenting his work in an entirely different light: a Descartes of the arts, of sensibility, of inner images, and of imagination.
Cecilia Sjöholm is Professor of Aesthetics at Södertörn University. Her books include Doing Aesthetics with Arendt: How to See Things, Kristeva and the Political, and The Antigone Complex: Ethics and the Invention of Feminine Desire. Marcia Sá Cavalcante Schuback is Professor of Philosophy at Södertörn University. Her books include Time in Exile: In Conversation with Heidegger, Blanchot, and Clarice Lispector; The End of the World (editor with Susanna Lindberg); Dis-orientations: Philosophy, Literature and the Lost Grounds of Modernity (editor with Tora Lane); and The Fascism of Ambiguity.
