Descartes: Meditations On First Philosophy First Edition by René Descartes is a foundational philosophical text that profoundly shaped modern thought. This first edition captures Descartes’ pioneering exploration into the nature of knowledge, existence, and the mind. Through six meditations, Descartes systematically doubts all previously held beliefs, ultimately establishing the famous dictum "Cogito, ergo sum" ("I think, therefore I am"). The work delves into metaphysics and epistemology, questioning the certainty of sensory experience and the existence of God. Owning a first edition of this seminal work is a treasure for collectors and philosophy enthusiasts alike, offering a direct link to the origins of contemporary philosophical inquiry.
