The concept of innateness is central to Descartes' epistemology; the Meditations display a new, non-Aristotelian method of acquiring knowledge by attending properly to our innate ideas. Yet understanding Descartes's conception of innate ideas is not an easy task and some commentators have concluded that Descartes held several distinct and unrelated conceptions of innateness. In Descartes on Innate Ideas, however, Deborah Boyle argues that Descartes's remarks on innate ideas in fact form a unified account. Addressing the further question of how Descartes thinks innate ideas are known, the author shows that for Descartes, thinkers have implicit knowledge of their innate ideas. Thus she shows that the actual perception of these innate ideas is, for Descartes, a matter of making them explicit, turning the intellect away from sense-perceptions and towards pure thought. The author also provides a new interpretation of the Cartesian 'natural light', an important mental faculty in Descartes' epistemology.

The concept of an idea plays a central role in seventeenth-century theories of mind and knowledge. However, philosophers of the period were seriously divided over the nature of ideas. The Light of the Soul examines the important but neglected debate on this issue between Leibniz, Malebranche,and Descartes. In reaction to Descartes, Malebranche argues that ideas are not mental but abstract, logical entities. Leibniz in turn replies to Malebranche by reclaiming ideas for psychology. Nicholas Jolley explores the theological dimension of the debate by showing how the three philosophersmake use of biblical and patristic teaching. The debate has important implications for such major issues in early modern philosophy as innate ideas, self-knowledge, scepticism, the mind-body problem, and the creation of the eternal truths. Jolley goes on to consider the relevance of theseventeenth-century controversy to modern discussions of the relation between logic and psychology.'This is an excellent book about a variety of themes in seventeenth-century philosophy . . . an engaging and stimulating tour of a series of fascinating philosophical debates which constitute central dimensions of the seventeenth-century philosophical tradition. . . . Jolley has a finephilosophical sense, an excellent knowledge of the texts, and a rich appreciation of the secondary literature.' Michael L. Morgan, Review of Metaphysics'Jolley has written a rich and useful book.Its concerns are important and he presents them in a remarkably accessible fashion. . . . Very seldom does a book like this appear that will be of serious interest both to the most advanced, sophisticated researchers in the field and to those with onlypassing knowledge of the basic texts ... It is an engaging book, in both senses of the term. Its style and method of argument are not only prepossessing, but they also draw one into the dialectic, and in a philosophically productive way.' Thomas M. Lennon, Canadian Philosophical Reviews'careful and perceptive . . . lucid and wide-ranging' John Cottingham, Times Literary Supplement'A significant study of a central topic in modern philosophy . . . Without losing sight of his central theme, Jolley manages to illuminate a host of related topics in epistemology and the philosophy of mind, and succeeds quite admirably in offering a philosophically stimulating, historically richdiscussion of the nature of ideas. Consequently, this book should be purchased by every academic library supporting undergraduate degree programs in philosophy.' C. J. Shields, Choice

Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Philosophy - Philosophy of the 17th and 18th Centuries, grade: 1,0, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, language: English, abstract: In this paper the author would like to compare the epistemology of Rene Descartes and John Locke. Insofar as both lived and practiced during the Enlightenment, she considers it an interesting object of analysis. In her opinion, the elaboration of the two philosophical currents of empiricism as well as rationalism can be seen particularly well in these two philosophers. To this end, she will focus particular on the first two meditations of Descartes, more precisely the methodological doubt and the Cogito argument, as well as the Essay concerning Humane Understanding by John Locke. In the first step, she will explain Descartes, with particular reference to the concept of his own existence and his mathematical approach. Furthermore, she will try to work out the meaning of logical thinking as well as the meaning of deduction by means of his text and examples taken from it. In the following, Locke's views will be presented in more detail, whereby she will focus particular on the meaning of experience and the development of ideas through that sensory experience. Also, shortly, in contrast to the explanation of deduction in Descartes' sense, the induction will be also examined. This is followed by an analytical comparison of the two theories and their classification in the philosophical currents as well as a critical illumination of the two approaches in order to work out the weaknesses and strengths of both theories, which will finally be summarized in a short conclusion.
