«Meditaciones metafísicas y otros textos» is a philosophy work by René Descartes, published by Gredos in paperback (214 pages, in Spanish).
In this work, Descartes calls into doubt everything of which he cannot be absolutely certain and attempts to establish what can be known with certainty. Across six meditations he examines the existence of the self, the relationship between mind and body, and the path to firm knowledge, laying the foundations of modern thought.
The work was originally published in Latin in 1641 as «Meditationes de prima philosophia»; this volume brings together the six meditations and other texts by Descartes.
Intended for philosophy students and for those approaching Cartesian thought for the first time.
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.
