His principal interests concern the relations between philosophy, science,

Descartes and Cartesian Philosophy (Scarecrow Press, 2010), editor and
translator such works as Descartes, Philosophical Essays (Hackett,

journal Perspectives on Science: Historical, Philosophical, Social (MIT

for the Humanities (NEH) as well as numerous research grants from NEH and the
National Science Foundation; he has co-directed three NEH Summer Seminars (on
Galileo, Descartes, Hobbes, and Leibniz). He is currently working on a variety
