""Cogito ergo sum." "I think, therefore I am." This phrase is among the most famous in philosophy and started modern, rational, philosophic thought. Descartes sought a basis for knowledge and came up with the fact that everything else may be doubted, except the fact that he is a thinking being and therefore exists. Upon reading these two books one cannot escape the fact that Descartes, the "father of modern philosophy," wanted the church to approve of his work. He actually discusses the existence of God in many sections of it. Is is ironic hat he laid the groundwork for atheism. It is a true classic in that it is the foundation of much of the philosophic work that has followed it." - Amazon Customer Reviews

  • Mô tả

Is it possible to be certain of anything? If so, how? The father of modern philosophy and the founder of rational method in philosophical thought, René Descartes (1596–1650) sought the answers to these questions and in doing so, addressed the most important of methods of thinking and understanding truth. In Discourse on Method, he applies a scientific approach to philosophy that comprises four principles: to accept only what reason recognizes as "clear and distinct"; to analyze complex ideas by dividing them into smaller elements; to reconstruct the ideas; and to make accurate and complete enumerations of the data. His Meditations proceed according to this method, exploring the mind/body distinction, the nature of truth and error, the existence of God, and the essence of material things.
