TLDR
In this paper, an ontology of substances, attributes, and modes of the Trinity is presented, where the Trinity comprises one substance, triply attributed, where distinctions among attributes are of reasoned reason only, but founded in the nature of the substance.Abstract:

The Trinity comprises one substance, triply attributed, where distinctions among attributes are ‘of reasoned reason’ only, but ‘founded’ in the nature of the substance.read more

Descartes' Metaphysical Physics
TL;DR: In this paper, a book-length treatment of Descartes' important and influential natural philosophy is presented, with a focus on the joint between Descarte's philosophical and scientific interests, the point at which the metaphysical doctrines on God, the soul and body, developed in writings like the "Meditations," give rise to physical conclusions regarding atoms, vacua, and the laws that matter in motion must obey.
