  • Title: Descartes, consciousness and depersonalization: viewing the history of philosophy from a Strausian perspective.
    Author: Cohen A.
    Journal: J Med Philos; 1984 Feb; 9(1):7-27. PubMed ID: 6374001.
    Abstract:
    This paper develops particular Strausian -like themes on the formation and structure of the Cartesian problematic. Particularly, my interest is to link the Cartesian 'invention' of consciousness (or 'the mental') in the philosophy of mind with the issues of representation and 'the problem of the external world' in epistemology. The Cartesian novelty becomes clear by comparing Cartesian scepticism with Greek classical scepticism . I end with some speculative clinical (i.e., psychiatric) suggestions on possible roots of the Cartesian invention.
