The Cambridge Companion to Descartes (Cambridge Companions to Philosophy)

Summary: Very interesting reading
Review: Many of the books about Descartes do not achieve the depth that this book reaches. The contributors, from considering the antecedents of the Cartesian thought, analyze the most algid points in Descartes' philosophy, such as the Cogito, the Cartesian circle and his physics; the contributors also show the influence of Descartes' work in the context of his own epoch and his legacy for later centuries. I am sure that the purchase of this book will grant the reader a deeper vision of modernity; it also will be useful in the understanding of many contemporary philosophal tendencies.
