He develops new conceptions of body and mind, capable of serving as foundations for the new science ofnature.

Considered a foundational text in modern philosophy, the Meditationspresents numerous powerful arguments that to this day influence debates in epistemology, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of religion.

Originally published in 1637, it has been characterized as the greatest single step ever made in the progress of the exact sciences (John Stuart Mill); as a book which remade geometry and made modern geometry possible (Eric Temple Bell). It revolutionized the entire conception of the object of mathematical science (J. Hadamard).With this volume Descartes founded modern analytical geometry. Reducing geometry to algebra and analysis and, conversely, showing that analysis may be translated into geometry, it opened the way for modern mathematics. Descartes was the first to classify curves systematically and to demonstrate algebraic solution of geometric curves. His geometric interpretation of negative quantities led to later concepts of continuity and the theory of function. The third book contains important contributions to the theory of equations.This edition contains the entire definitive Smith-Latham translation of Descartes' three books: \u003ci\u003eProblems the Construction of which Requires Only Straight Lines and Circles\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eOn the Nature of Curved Lines\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eOn the Construction of Solid and Supersolid Problems\u003c\/i\u003e.

There are chapters by David Weissman on metaphysics and psychoanalysis, John Post on epistemology, Lou Massa on physics and mathematics, William T. Bluhm on politics and ethics, and Thomas Pavel on literature and art. These essays are accompanied by others by David Weissman and by Stephen Toulmin that introduce the idea of intellectual lineages, discuss the period in which Descartes wrote, and reexamine the premises of his philosophy in light of contemporary philosophical, political, and social thinking.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50095616426257,"sku":"CIN0300067739G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50269114564881,"sku":"GOR012472098","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52108892700945,"sku":"GOR003651112","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0300067739.jpg?v=1750974332"},{"product_id":"correspondence-between-princess-elisabeth-of-bohemia-and-rene-descartes-book-princess-elisabeth-of-bohemia-9780226204420","title":"The Correspondence between Princess Elisabeth of Bohemia and Rene Descartes","description":"Between the years 1643 and 1649, Princess Elisabeth of Bohemia (1618-80) and Rene Descartes (1596-1650) exchanged fifty-eight letters - thirty-two from Descartes and twenty-six from Elisabeth. Their correspondence contains the only known extant philosophical writings by Elisabeth and reveals her mastery of metaphysics, analytic geometry, and moral philosophy, as well as her keen interest in natural philosophy. The letters are essential reading for anyone interested in Descartes' philosophy, in particular his account of the human being as a union of mind and body, as well as his ethics. They also provide a unique insight into the character of their authors and the way ideas develop through intellectual collaboration. Philosophers have long been familiar with Descartes' side of the correspondence. Now Elisabeth's letters - never before available in translation in their entirety - emerge in this volume, adding much-needed context and depth both to Descartes' ideas and the legacy of the princess. Lisa Shapiro's annotated edition, which also includes Elisabeth's correspondence with the Quakers William Penn and Robert Barclay, will be heralded by students of philosophy, feminist theorists, and historians of the early modern period.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50205623419153,"sku":"CIN0226204421G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51201154744593,"sku":"GOR009310464","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51454069276945,"sku":"CIN0226204421VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0226204421.jpg?v=1750738051"},{"product_id":"meditations-objections-and-replies-book-rene-descartes-9780872207998","title":"Meditations, Objections, and Replies","description":"This edition features reliable, accessible translations; useful editorial materials; and a straightforward presentation of the Objections and Replies, including the objections from Caterus, Arnauld, and Hobbes, accompanied by Descartes' replies, in their entirety.

Dans le Discours de la m thode, Descartes expose sa m thode pour parvenir   la v rit  par le biais de la raison. Il d crit les quatre r gles fondamentales qui guident son raisonnement: ne rien accepter pour vrai qui ne soit  vident, diviser chaque probl me en autant de parties que possible, conduire ses pens es dans un ordre croissant de complexit , et faire des d nombrements complets pour s'assurer de n'avoir rien omis. Ce texte fondateur marque une rupture avec les m thodes scolastiques et pose les bases du rationalisme moderne. Les M ditations m taphysiques, quant   elles, offrent une exploration approfondie des questions de l'existence de Dieu, de l' me et de la nature de la r alit .   travers six m ditations, Descartes s'engage dans un examen rigoureux de ses propres croyances, aboutissant   la c l bre conclusion Je pense, donc je suis. Il explore la distinction entre l'esprit et le corps,  tablissant les fondements du dualisme cart sien. Ensemble, ces oeuvres constituent une introduction essentielle   la philosophie moderne, offrant des outils pour comprendre la nature de la connaissance et de l'existence. L'AUTEUR: Ren  Descartes, n  le 31 mars 1596   La Haye-en-Touraine, est un philosophe, math maticien et scientifique fran ais, souvent consid r  comme le p re du rationalisme moderne. Apr s des  tudes au Coll ge royal de La Fl che, il poursuit une carri re militaire avant de se consacrer pleinement   la philosophie et aux sciences. Son oeuvre majeure, Discours de la m thode, publi e en 1637, marque un tournant dans la pens e occidentale en introduisant une approche syst matique de la raison. Descartes est  galement connu pour ses contributions significatives aux math matiques, notamment l'invention de la g om trie analytique.

The \u003cem\u003eDiscourse\u003c\/em\u003e offers a concise presentation and defense of Descartes's method of intellectual inquiry--a method that greatly influenced both philosophical and scientific reasoning in the early modern world. Considered a foundational text in modern philosophy, the \u003cem\u003eMeditations\u003c\/em\u003e presents numerous powerful arguments that to this day influence debates in epistemology, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of religion. Descartes's timeless writing strikes an uncommon balance of novelty and familiarity, offering arguments concerning knowledge, science, and metaphysics (including the famous I think, therefore I am) that are as compelling in the twenty-first century as they were in the seventeenth. Ian Johnston's translations are modern, clear, and thoroughly annotated, ideal for readers unfamiliar with Descartes's intellectual context. An approachable introduction engages both the historical and the philosophical aspects of the text, helping the reader to understand the concepts and arguments contained therein. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51683530473745,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51683530670353,"sku":"NIN9789355224194","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52619014766865,"sku":"NLS9789355224194","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9355224192.jpg?v=1751352327"},{"product_id":"untersuchungen-uber-die-grundlagen-der-philosophie-book-ren-descartes-9783843039307","title":"Untersuchungen über die Grundlagen der Philosophie","description":"Rene Descartes: Untersuchungen uber die Grundlagen der Philosophie.
