'It is some years now since I realized how many false opinions I
had accepted as true from childhood onwards...I saw that at some
stage in my life the whole structure would have to be utterly
demolished' In Descartes's Meditations, one of the key texts of
Western philosophy, the thinker rejects all his former beliefs in
the quest for new certainties. Discovering his own existence as a
thinking entity in the very exercise of doubt, he goes on to prove
the existence of God, who guarantees his clear and distinct ideas
as a means of access to the truth. He develops new conceptions of
body and mind, capable of serving as foundations for the new
science of nature. Subsequent philosophy has grappled with
Descartes's legacy, questioning many of its conclusions and even
his basic approach, but his arguments set the agenda for many of
the greatest philosophical thinkers, and their fascination endures.
This new translation includes the Third and Fourth Objections and
Replies in full, and a selection from the rest of these exchanges
with Descartes's contemporaries that helped to expound his
philosophy. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's
Classics has made available the widest range of literature from
around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's
commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a
wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions
by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text,
up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
