    Cartesian Poetics is a defense of the “resultless enterprises” of poetry and thinking that enlists an unlikely ally in its cause: René Descartes. Against the historical charge that Descartes’ philosophy “slashed poetry’s throat,” this book argues that the resources of early modern poetry and rhetoric help make Descartes’ thinking possible. Against a familiar and still-prevailing narrative that holds Descartes responsible for initiating the moral injuries caused by Enlightenment reason and modern alienation, this book offers a new interpretation of his intervention in philosophy: the apparent triumphs of disembodied reason are recharacterized here as impassioned and poetic negotiations with the difficulties of thinking itself. In showing how, for Descartes, poetry structures a distinctive way of thinking, this book uses its readings of seventeenth-century works to pose questions urgent for the twenty-first: What is thinking? What does it feel like? What is it good for? Through close readings of Descartes’ most famous philosophical writings (the Discourse on Method and the Meditations along with the Regulae, the Principia, and the Passions of the Soul), the book reveals an implicit poetics in Descartes' body of work, from the puzzling forms of riddle, emblem, and anagram to the antecedents of more familiar Romantic and post-Romantic poetry in love lyric and elegy. The source of an atmosphere for Descartes’ philosophy rather than the object of its argument, poetry imparts the linguistic resources with which Descartes’ philosophy confronts, contains, or simply experiences life’s ordinary inadequacies and passions as well as the constraints of thought.

    What is thinking? What does it feel like? What is it good for? Andrea Gadberry looks for answers to these questions in the philosophy of René Descartes and finds them in the philosopher's implicit poetics. Gadberry argues that Descartes's thought was crucially enabled by poetry and shows how markers of poetic genres from love lyric and elegy to the puzzling forms of the riddle and the anagram betray an impassioned negotiation with the difficulties of thought and its limits.

    "The philosopher René Descartes is usually associated with cold reason rather than with feeling, to the extent that Rousseau charged his philosophy had "slashed poetry's throat." Andrea Gadberry argues, on the contrary, that Descartes' thought was crucially enabled by early modern poetry and rhetoric. Where others have seen Cartesian philosophy as a triumph of disembodied reason, Gadberry points to Descartes's own impassioned and poetic negotiations with the difficulties of thought and its limits. Gadberry's approach to seventeenth-century writings poses questions urgent for the twenty-first: What is thinking? What does it feel like? What is it good for? Her book reveals an implicit poetics in Descartes' texts, from the puzzling forms of riddle, emblem, and anagram to the antecedents of more familiar, Romantic and post-Romantic poetry in love lyric and elegy. Gadberry's argument is grounded in the rich poetic culture of Descartes' time, even as it traces a biography of thinking. Helping us read classic moments of philosophical argumentation in a new light, this elegant study also expands outward to redefine thinking in light of its poetic shape. This book will be the first volume published in the new Thinking Literature series edited by Nan Z. Da and Anahid Nersessian"--
