peer agreement (net): +3certain manifestations/expositions of | mistreatment by some Explanation: I take en certaines mains to be a metaphor for certain philosophers or critics with a particular take on Descarte's ideas and theories. Perhaps the writer has already named or referred to them? The tone of the sentence suggests the writer disapproves of what s/he perceives as a misrepresentation of or inconsistent take on Cartesianism, so if the text before and after this sentence warrants it, and if you're feeling daring, you could opt for a more direct wording like "mishandling of" or "mistreatment of". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2019-11-19 16:39:09 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- For the 2nd option, if "mistreatment" or "mishandling" comes across too strong, you could just say "treatment" or "handling" and still keep the hands metaphor.
