Katalin Farkas comes to the defence of a Cartesian view of the mind. She argues that Descartes's influence is more beneficial, and his conception of the mind more deeply rooted in our understanding of ourselves, than most philosophers allow. She sheds light on a range of current issues, including personhood and the internalism/externalism debate.
