René Descartes' 'Metaphysical Meditations', published in 1641, are a foundational work in the history of philosophy. In this text, Descartes embarks on a search for truth through methodical doubt, questioning all his beliefs until he reaches the indubitable certainty of his own existence ('I think, therefore I am'). From this point, the author reconstructs his philosophical system, arguing for the existence of God and the external world. This edition from Alianza Editorial presents a translation and notes that facilitate the understanding of this essential work for the study of modern thought.
René Descartes was a French philosopher, scientist, logician, and mathematician, widely considered a seminal figure in the emergence of modern philosophy and science during the Renaissance era. Mathematics was paramount to his method of inquiry, and he connected the previously separate fields of geometry and algebra into analytic geometry.
