W 1981 Rene Descartes, Franklin Library Edition

Notes

René Descartes' Philosophical Works encompass his groundbreaking contributions to modern philosophy, particularly his method of doubt and the famous declaration, "Cogito, ergo sum" ("I think, therefore I am"). Key works include Meditations on First Philosophy, where Descartes explores the nature of reality, the existence of God, and the dualism of mind and body, and Discourse on the Method, where he outlines his approach to scientific and philosophical inquiry. Descartes' emphasis on reason and skepticism laid the foundation for modern Western philosophy and influenced subsequent developments in science, epistemology, and metaphysics.
