Descartes is commonly read as the paradigm defender of substance dualism, a theory caricatured by Ryle as the 'dogma of the ghost in the machine'. The author shows that a failure to engage with Descartes's scientific work leads to a wholesale misunderstanding of his theory of mind. This book is of interest to scholars and students of Descartes.
