Routledge Philosophy Guidebook To Descartes And The Meditations

Descartes' "Meditations" is one of the most widely read philosophical texts and has marked the beginning of what we now consider as modern philosophy. It is the first text that most students of philosophy are introduced to and this " Guidebook" will be an indispensable introduction to what is undeniably one of the most important texts in the history of philosophy. Gary Hatfield offers a clear and concise introduction to Descartes' background, a careful reading of the "Meditations" and a methodological investigation of its main themes. As with all the "Guidebooks," this is an exemplary companion to any reading of the "Meditations."
