Meditations/Discourse on the Method Audiobook (Free)

Plagued with doubt and uncertainty in sensory knowledge, Descartes is normally struck with the idea that everything he knows is usually false. He considers the chance that he has been deceived by an ‘evil demon’ and is still left with nothing at all to trim on, until he finds the expression ‘cogito ergo sum’ (‘I think, therefore I am’). Clinging to this, he proceeds to reconstruct his doubted world and redefine his understanding. Being among the most quoted philosophical functions ever sold, Meditations on First Philosophy and Discourse on the technique together display the full workings of Descartes’ sceptical method and the formation of his well-known phrase. Meditations sees him apply the technique in a mission to find indisputable knowledge, while Discourse is certainly his exposition from the technique.
