Rationalism, Platonism, and God
This volume comprises three main papers on Descartes, Spinoza, and Leibniz, with extensive responses. It provides a significant contribution to the exploration of the common ground of the great early-modern Rationalist theories, and an examination of the ways in which the mainstream Platonic tradition permeates these theories
