Description

Dive into the profound thoughts of French philosopher René Descartes in Six Metaphysical Meditations. Known for his famous declaration Cogito, ergo sum or I think, therefore I exist, Descartes invites you to explore six essential themes where he meticulously unpacks his reasoning. Each meditation not only showcases his insights but also addresses the objections raised by Thomas Hobbes, along with Descartes compelling responses. The meditations cover topics such as the nature of the mind, the existence of God, the essence of truth and falsehood, and the distinction between mind and body. Join us for an enlightening journey through these pivotal philosophical discussions. (Summary by Phil Chenevert)
