Beschreibung

2 vol. 8vo. [5], ii-lx, [3], 4-425, [5]; [7], 4-450, [4] pp. Green pebbled cloth with gold lettering and decorations on the front board and spine (each front board contains the phrase in gold "Lycée Impérial D'Orléans"); all edges decoratively sprinkled. Part of the Collection Napoléon Chaix, a 500 volume series of choice, best works, old and modern. Bibliotheca Chemico-Mathematica 7257. A nice set of Descartes' writings, with a contemporary French bookstore tag (a shop in Orléans) on the verso of the free front endpaper. René Descartes was one of the founders of modern philosophy, with his Meditations remaining a foundational text in the field. It brought him the attention of famous figures like Princess Elizabeth, with their correspondence remaining key to understanding Descartes' methodology. These volumes include their correspondence. Like John Locke, Descartes remains a major figure in the philosophy of mind. A Very Good+ set with minor wear to the cloth and very occasional spotting to the leaves.
