Summary: This monograph on Descartes' "Meditations" shows that it is as much about pedagogy as it is about truth. Every single claim of the Meditations is advanced from the first-person point-of-view of Descartes' meditator, who is not a Cartesian at the start of inquiry. Cunning's reading shows that "The Meditations" is the transcript of his cognitive progress.
