Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

Ren: Descartes was born on the 31st of March 1596 at La Haye inT ouraine not far from Poitiers. His father was a gentleman of good family who had retired from military service and had become councillor of the Parlement of Brittany. Rene was the third son. He was sent at the age of eight to theewly established .J Jesuit college of La Fldche in MaineV He stayed there for eight years, going through the full course.of studr; I and showing in the last two years extraordinary prproci fyKP -in. mathematics. Descartes all his life retained the fwarmesF alfection foriiisf old college and laid great -store on the approbationu-ol-4iis-~j6S uitteachers. Here, too, he made the acquaintance of his great friend, Mersenne. Mersenne later became a monk and eventually head of a convent in Paris. He was a man with a great gift of friendship, and his cell in Paris became the centre of philosophical and scientific discussion. Descartes correspondence with him was constant and continuous, and ended only with Mersenne sdeath in 1648. Descartes not only found in him a loyal friend, but was through him enabled to get in touch with all the most important thoughtpf the time. jjX In the first part of theD iscourse on Method Descartes has related how after his studies were finished he came to the conclusion that for him further book-learning was unprofitable, and resolved no longer to seek any otlxiyr science than the. knowledge of myself or of the ..great ;book of the world. Seeing the world meant enlisting in a foreign army, and the years till 1619 were spent by Descartes in theL ow Countries, serving under Prince Maurice of Nassau.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the mind and philosophy of Ren�� Descartes, a pivotal figure in the development of modern thought. The author explores how Descartes, through his famous principle "I think, therefore I am," shifted the focus of philosophical inquiry from external authority to the individual's subjective experience. By questioning the very foundations of knowledge and seeking certainty within the limits of doubt, Descartes laid the groundwork for a new approach to understanding the world, one that emphasized reason and the power of the human mind. The book examines Descartes's method of doubt, his arguments for the existence of God, the nature of the soul, and the distinction between mind and matter. The author also explores the impact of Descartes's ideas on later philosophers, such as Spinoza and Malebranche, and discusses his lasting influence on the development of modern science and philosophy. This book offers a comprehensive analysis of Descartes's thought, providing readers with a rich understanding of his profound and lasting contributions to intellectual history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
