Inhaltsangabe
Many other matters respecting the attributes of God and my own nature or mind remain for consideration; but I shall possibly on another occasion resume the investigation of these. Now (after first noting what must be done or avoided, in order to arrive at a knowledge of the truth) my principal task is to endeavour to emerge from the state of doubt into which I have these last days fallen, and to see whether nothing certain can be known regarding material things.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
René Descartes (1596-1650) was a French philosopher, mathematician, and scientist whose work helped establish the foundations of modern Western philosophy. Often associated with rationalism, methodical doubt, and the search for certainty, Descartes transformed philosophical inquiry by insisting that knowledge must be tested through reason rather than accepted merely through tradition or sensory experience. His famous formulation "I think, therefore I am" became one of the central statements in the history of philosophy and remains a defining point of entry into questions of selfhood, consciousness, knowledge, and reality.Descartes' influence extends well beyond philosophy. His mathematical work contributed to analytic geometry, and his broader intellectual project helped shape early modern science, metaphysics, epistemology, and debates over mind and body. Alongside Meditations on First Philosophy and Principles of Philosophy, Discourse on the Method remains one of his most widely read works, valued by students, scholars, and general readers as a clear and powerful introduction to the rationalist tradition and the emergence of modern thought.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. I will now close my eyes, I will stop my ears, I will turn away my senses from their objects, I will even efface from my consciousness all the images of corporeal things; or at least, because this can hardly be accomplished, I will consider them as empty and false; and thus, holding converse only with myself, and closely examining my nature, I will endeavor to obtain by degrees a more intimate and familiar knowledge of myself. I am a thinking (conscious) thing. although the things which I perceive or imagine are perhaps nothing at all apart from me, I am nevertheless assured that those modes of consciousness which I call perceptions and imaginations, in as far only as they are modes of consciousness, exist in me. -from Meditation I: Of God: That He Exists Sometimes called the father of modern philosophy, French mathematician, scientist, and writer RENE DESCARTES (1596-1650) continues to have a deeply profound impact on our modern world. His thinking on how the mind works and what is it capable of has profoundly impacted our understanding of ourselves-he summed up his philosophy with the phrase I think, therefore I am, which still thrills us-and his influence extends to our own experiments with modern computing and artificial intelligence. This concise discourse on doubt and the nature of truth was written in Latin and first published in 1641 with the subtitle In which the existence of God and the immortality of the soul are demonstrated. Here, Descartes considers: - Those Things That Can Be Called into Doubt - The Nature of the Human Mind: That It Is Better Known Than the Body - God, That He Exists - The True and the False - The Essence of Material Things - The Existence of Material Things, and the Real Distinction between Mind and Body Scottish poet, philosopher, and historian JOHN VEITCH (1829-1894) translated Meditations into English in 1852-this is a replica of the 1901 edition.
