Meditations on First Philosophy de Rene Descartes

Meditations on First Philosophy

Autor Rene Descartes Editat de Marciano Guerrero Traducere de Marymarc Translations
en Limba Engleză Paperback
The Meditations is Descartes best effort to prove that there are truths which one simply cannot doubt. What is ironic is that while he intends to eradicate total skepticism, he uses a method of systematic doubt. Yet, Descartes' method is quite clever, involving powerful skeptical hypotheses which call into doubt classes of knowledge claims by: the senses, the imagination, and reason or understanding. To many, Descartes' effort was extremely arrogant. Yet, it wasn't out of step with many other philosophers and scientists who perennially have looked for a solid foundation for human knowledge. The Meditations are repetitive and at times slow going, but not abstruse. With a little effort the main ideas become accessible to everyone-not just philosophers and the learned. Our translation focuses on plain language-American English- as further means of accessibility to Descartes' main points.

Notă biografică

René Descartes (1596-1650) was a pioneering metaphysician, a masterful mathematician, and a significant scientific thinker. He was primarily a mathematician throughout his life, followed by a natural scientist or "natural philosopher" and a metaphysician. He created the methods in mathematics that allowed for algebraic (or "analytic") geometry. He co-formulated the sine rule of refraction, created a significant empirical account of the rainbow, and proposed a naturalistic explanation for how the earth and planets formed in natural philosophy, among other notable accomplishments. A world of matter with a few basic properties and interacting according to a few universal principles was his new conception of the natural world, which has influenced how we think about it even today. Descartes created the contemporary interpretation of the mind-body problem by proposing that this natural world had an immaterial mind that was directly tied to the brain in humans. He offered proof for the existence of God in metaphysics, demonstrating that the nature of matter is an extension and the essence of the mind is thought. Early on, Descartes asserted that he had a unique method, which he later claimed to have used in metaphysics, natural philosophy, and many applications of mathematics.
