CLARKE\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOf all the works of the man claimed by many as the father of modern philosophy, the Meditations (1641), must surely be Rene Descartes' masterpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe six Meditations and accompanying selections from the Objections and Replies provide a definitive statement of what Descartes intended as the foundations of his whole philosophy. His project was to resolve the epistemological questions brought about by the prevailing scepticism of his age; to build, from the basis of self-awareness (Cogito, ergo sum), through the notion of a benevolent God, to a systematic and novel approach to metaphysics, and to construct a secure starting-point for science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first part of a new two-volume edition of the works of Descartes in Penguin Classics, this volume consists not only of a new translation of the original Latin text and extensive selections from the Objections and Replies, but also includes relevant correspondence from the period 1643-49, Part One of The Principles of Philosophy and Comments On a Certain Manifesto, as examples of Descartes' other metaphysical writings from the period 1641-49.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45085151035543,"sku":"9780140447019","price":455.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780140447019.webp?v=1769201751","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/meditations-and-other-metaphysical-writings-9780140447019","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
