Meditations and Other Metaphysical Writings by Rene Descartes

A foundational work in modern philosophy, this collection explores the nature of the self and existence. In his Meditations, Descartes sets out to dismantle and reconstruct the idea of individuality, laying the groundwork for a language of subjectivity that endures.

First part of a two-volume edition, this Penguin Classics publication offers a unique insight into Descartes' philosophical thought, including his famous statement "I think, therefore I am". With its authoritative text and introduction by distinguished scholars, this book provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of philosophy.
