About this audiobook
"Selections from the Principles of Philosophy" encapsulates René Descartes' most profound meditations on existence, reason, and the universe. Through this editor-curated anthology, readers are invited into Descartes' revolutionary thought process, where he systematically dismantles old beliefs to build a new, rational understanding of reality. From the essence of matter to the nature of the soul, Descartes employs rigorous logic, culminating in the famous dictum "Cogito, ergo sum." A cornerstone in philosophy, this work illuminates the path to clear thinking and scientific inquiry. Read in English, unabridged.
René Descartes
René Descartes, known as the Father of Modern Philosophy and inventor of Cartesian coordinates, was a seventeenth century French philosopher, mathematician, and writer. Descartes made significant contributions to the fields of philosophy and mathematics, and was a proponent of rationalism, believing strongly in fact and deductive reasoning. Working in both French and Latin, he wrote many mathematical and philosophical works including The World, Discourse on a Method, Meditations on First Philosophy, and Passions of the Soul. He is perhaps best known for originating the statement “I think, therefore I am.”
