A Discourse on Method: Meditations on the First Philosophy: Principles of Philosophy Audiobook (Free)

This three-part work carries a Discourse on Method, Meditations over the First Philosophy, and Principles of Philosophy.

By getting in touch with everything into doubt, Descartes laid the foundations of contemporary philosophy. Using the celebrated phrases “I think, consequently I am,” his convincing argument swept apart ancient and medieval traditions. He deduced that humans consist of minds and bodies, that these are totally specific “substances,” which God exists and that he ensures we are able to trust the evidence of our senses. Ushering in the “scientific revolution” of Galileo and Newton, his concepts have arranged the plan for debate ever since. His philosophical strategies and investigation changed the course of Western philosophy and led to or transformed the areas of metaphysics, epistemology, physics, mathematics, political theory, and ethics.
