Meditations on First Philosophy
by Rene Descartes
read by Paul Hecht
Part of the Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy series
A landmark in the history of thought, Rene Descartes' Meditations helped bring critical thinking and skepticism to the Western world. Modern philosophers are still captivated by Descartes' radical and controversial departure from his previous beliefs, which has both inspired reverence and provoked anger.
