I didn't know much about Descartes before, so I bought this book and it is great for beginners. It also has some funny illustrations. If you don't know anything about his ideas, apart from "I think, therefore I am", you will enjoy this book. Otherwise, if you think you're a little more advanced, then read "Descartes: the great philosophers" by John Cottingham.

you'd think people know how this series works by now

This is a perfect read for the layman who maybe doesn't have long periods of time to devote to reading who has the desire to learn about the father of modern philosophy and its problem of consciousness. I easily completed this book within one afternoon. Though it has a typical amount of pages, the comic-like format turns the read into a swift breeze filled with humor and creativity. It begins with explaining why Descartes is the father of modern philosophy, namely that he thought for himself (in a departure from Scholasticism). Though he retained Christian belief throughout his life, he was a very rational and mathematically minded person in the field of science that he managed to keep secular in practice, though it would ultimately be verified on God the Geometer's grounds. Aside from his biography, this Cartesian exordium lays out the philosophy of mind and all of the perspectives on it. (dual aspect monism, occasionalism, epiphenomenalism, materialism, functionalism, behaviourism, cognitivism and pyschophysical parallelism--for some more recent takes on the ghost in the machine I recommend Colin Mcginn's "The Mysterious Flame") Inevitably these talks bring up the issue of artificial intelligence and conscious automata.
Obviously like any other book in the "Introducing" series this book is simple, general, and fun, but at the same time comprehensive and a great starting point.

More than you cared to know about the "I think therefore I am" guy

It's an easy going read and quite informative, but I felt they stretched it a bit to make a full book out of his work. Could have been half the length, I think.
