Descartes disillusionment of the kind of knowledge he received from his predecessors, the scriptures and the senses made him set out his ingenious gigantic. He wrote the meditations as if he had meditated for six days: each meditation refers to the last one as yesterday (In fact, Descartes began work on the Meditations in 1639.) One of the most influential philosophical texts ever written, it is widely read to this day. Meditations on First Philosophy (subtitled In which the existence of God and the immortality of the soul are demonstrated) is a philosophical treatise made up of six meditations, in which Descartes first discards all belief in things that are not absolutely certain, and then tries to establish what can be known for sure. ![]() Meditations on First Philosophy Rene DescartesĪvailable to download for free in PDF, epub, and Kindle ebook formats.
