Tables of Knowledge: Descartes in Vermeer's Studio Details
Review "Drawing on art criticism, epistemology, literary representation, narratology, and neuroscience, she brilliantly uncovers the disconnect between Descartes the careful collector of data and Descartes the flawed narrator." (Ronald W. Tobin, University of California, Santa Barbara)"In a bold and surprising move, this book pairs up the French philosopher and scientist Descartes with the Dutch artist Vermeer, looking at each through the lens of the other. This seemingly odd couple results in a fascinating new exploration of the intersections between science and art." (Sara Melzer, UCLA)"Tables of Knowledge is one of the clearest and most engaging books about Cartesian science and aesthetics that I have read. It is an essential work for anyone concerned with the way our modernity grows out of artistic, religious, and philosophical representations of the world in the late Renaissance and seventeenth century." (John D. Lyons, Commonwealth Professor of French, University of Virginia) Read more Review "Drawing on art criticism, epistemology, literary representation, narratology, and neuroscience, she brilliantly uncovers the disconnect between Descartes the careful collector of data and Descartes the flawed narrator."
