Meditations on First Philosophy - Paperback
by René Descartes (Author), Andrew Bailey (Editor), Ian Johnston (Translator)
Complete with a new and highly readable translation, this edition makes the classic text more accessible than ever before.
Considered a foundational text in modern philosophy, the Meditations on First Philosophy presents numerous powerful arguments that to this day influence debates in epistemology, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of religion. This new translation incorporates revisions from the second Latin edition (1642) and the later French translation (1647) to make Descartes' reasoning as lucid and engaging as possible. Also included in this edition is a brief introduction to Descartes and the Meditations. The introduction helps the reader to understand the context and purpose of Descartes' project without over-explaining his arguments.

Ian Johnston is an Emeritus Professor at Vancouver Island University and has translated several works from Greek, French, German, and Latin.
