"In this book, I provide a systematic interpretation of Descartes's method in his first, posthumously published treatise, Rules for the Direction of the Mind (Regulae ad directionem ingenii), most likely composed during the 1620s, but not published until 1684 (in Dutch translation) and 1701 (in Latin), many years after Descartes's death in 1650. By "systematic" I simply mean that the interpretation is informed by a principle: Descartes's method is a problem-solving cognitive disposition or habitus that can be actualized in a variety of well-defined ways, depending always on the parameters of the problem at hand. I have aimed to provide an interpretation that, in addition to being systematic, is also as comprehensive as possible: I cover Rules in its entirety as well a number of important developments in Descartes's method after Rules (Whether I have succeeded is another matter, and is in any case up to others to decide.)"--

Quiet Powers of the Possible offers an excellent introduction to contemporary French phenomenology through a series of interviews with its most prominent figures. Guided by rigorous questions that push into the most important aspects of the latest phenomenological research, the book gives readers a comprehensive sense of each thinker’s intellectual history, motivations, and philosophical commitments. The book introduces readers to debates that have not previously been accessible to the English-speaking world, such as the growing interest in the phenomenological concept of life in its affective and even vital dimensions, the emerging dialogue with the analytic philosophy of mind and language, and reassessments of the so-called theological turn. The diversity of approaches collected here has its origin in a deeper debate about the conceptual and historical foundations of phenomenology itself. In this way the book offers the most accessible and wide-ranging introduction to French phenomenology to have appeared in the English-speaking world to date.
