This is an English translation of Descartes' seminal discourse,
with an original essay by Richard Kennington. This text is designed
to provide the student with a close translation, notes, and a
glossary of key terms, facilitating access to ideas as they
originally were presented and helping to make the translator's work
transparent.
Focus Philosophical Library translations are close to and are
non-interpretative of the original text, with the notes and a
glossary intending to provide the reader with some sense of the
terms and the concepts as they were understood by Decartes'
immediate audience.
The Focus Philosophical Library publishes clear, faithful
editions enabling access for modern students to the essential ideas
and wisdom of the world's greatest thinkers.
In Confessions of an Independent Woman: Truth, Lies, &
Relationships, she stresses we must move on regardless, as dwelling
on what might have been, or obsessing over problems is not a
solution." Although she shares her own harrowing experiences with
us, the point of this empowering, informative, and highly
motivational book is to reveal the lessons she learned, and to show
other women how she emerged triumphant--and remind them that they
can too. "Sharing our stories with other women demonstrates huge
growth and proves we are bigger than how we are all-too-often
portrayed," she says, while she encourages us to "gain self-worth,
value, and respect." This is the process that helped Aprille
achieve what she really wanted in the end: to live freely and
happily. "Our lives are a testimony, and we should look at how we
overcome our struggles and use them as valuable lessons to help
others."
Richard Kennington (1921-1999), a professor for many years at
Pennsylvania State University and the Catholic University of
America, was renowned for his insight in reading and teaching early
modern philosophy. Although he published articles and spoke widely,
never before have his writings been collected in a book. On Modern
Origins deftly shows how modern thinkers assessed the errors of the
classical tradition and established in its place a philosophy that
fuses a new meaning of nature and of theory with humanitarian
goals. This volume is an essential source for scholars seeking to
understand the contemporary significance of the dawning of the
modern era.
