Michael Moriarty

René Descartes

In Descartes's Meditations, the thinker rejects all his former beliefs in the quest for new certainties. He develops new conceptions of body and mind to create a new science of nature. This new translation includes a wide-ranging, accessible introduction, notes and full selections from the Objections and Replies.

Meditations on First Philosophy

Luca Stromann

[…]; denn alle Erkenntnisgründe, die zur Erfassung entweder des Wachses oder auch irgendeines anderen Körpers beitragen können, weisen ja ohne Ausnahme zugleich auch um so besser die Natur meines Geistes nach!

Many other matters respecting the attributes of God and my own nature or mind remain for consideration; but I shall possibly on another occasion resume the investigation of these. Now my principal task is to endeavour to emerge from the state of doubt into which I have these last days fallen.

In which the Existence of God and the Distinction of the Soul from the Body are Demonstrated

jess

Good writer, interesting ideas, but please shut the fuck up you repeat things 384738384 times until it's hammered into my brain and it becomes boring. Fight me, Descartes. Fight me.

I'm only marking this as read because this is like the only full thing we read for philosophy and OHHH MY GOODDDDDDD.
