Key Philosophical Writings by Rene Descartes (Paperback, 1996)




Translated by Elizabeth S. Haldane and G.R.T. Ross., Edited with an Introduction by Enrique Chavez-Arvizo. Rene Descartes (1569-1650), the `father’ of modern philosophy, is without doubt one of the greatest thinkers in history: his genius lies at the core of our contemporary intellectual identity. Breaking with the conventions of his own time and suffering persecution by the Church as a consequence, Descartes in his writings – most of which are philosophical classics – attempted to answer the central questions surrounding the self, God, free-will and knowledge, using the science of thought as opposed to received wisdom based on the tenets of faith., This edition, the most comprehensive one-volume selection of Descartes’ works available in English, includes his great essay, Discourse on Method.
