Méditations Métaphysiques

Dans ses 'Méditations Métaphysiques', René Descartes entreprend une quête rigoureuse pour établir des fondations indubitables pour la connaissance. Partant d'un doute méthodique radical, il remet en question toutes ses opinions et perceptions antérieures, cherchant à identifier des vérités absolument certaines. Ce voyage intellectuel le conduit à la célèbre affirmation 'Je pense, donc je suis', le cogito, point de départ de sa reconstruction philosophique. Descartes explore ensuite la nature de l'esprit humain, distinguant clairement l'âme du corps et argumentant pour leur séparation. Il se penche sur l'existence de Dieu, proposant des preuves basées sur l'idée d'un être parfait et infini. L'ouvrage aborde également la question de l'erreur humaine, attribuant celle-ci à un mauvais usage de la volonté par rapport à l'entendement. À travers une argumentation précise et une introspection profonde, Descartes cherche à établir une métaphysique solide, capable de répondre aux défis du scepticisme et de fournir une base fiable pour la science et la philosophie.

Principles of Philosophy

René Descartes (1596–1650) is hailed as one of the greatest thinkers of the modern age and considered the Founder of Modern Philosophy, and the Father of Modern Mathematics. Descartes abandoned his early study of law and devoted his life to investigating the relationship between mathematics and nature. His founding of analytical geometry paved the way for the invention of calculus and the Scientific Revolution.

Regulae AD Directionem Ingenii / Rules for the Direction of the Natural Intelligence

Exactly four hundred years after the birth of René Descartes (1596-1650), the present volume now makes available, for the first time in a bilingual, philosophical edition prepared especially for English-speaking readers, his Regulae ad directionem ingenii / Rules for the Direction of the Natural Intelligence (1619-1628), the Cartesian treatise on method. This unique edition contains an improved version of the original Latin text, a new English translation intended to be as literal as possible and as liberal as necessary, an interpretive essay contextualizing the text historically, philologically, and philosophically, a com-prehensive index of Latin terms, a key glossary of English equivalents, and an extensive bibliography covering all aspects of Descartes' methodology. Stephen Gaukroger has shown, in his authoritative Descartes: An Intellectual Biography (1995), that one cannot understand Descartes without understanding the early Descartes. But one also cannot understand the early Descartes without understanding the Regulae / Rules. Nor can one understand the Regulae / Rules without understanding a philosophical edition thereof. Therein lies the justification for this project. The edition is intended, not only for students and teachers of philosophy as well as of related disciplines such as literary and cultural criticism, but also for anyone interested in seriously reflecting on the nature, expression, and exercise of human intelligence: What is it? How does it manifest itself? How does it function? How can one make the most of what one has of it? Is it equally distributed in all human beings? What is natural about it, and what, not? In the Regulae / Rules Descartes tries to provide, from a distinctively early modern perspective, answers both to these and to many other questions about what he refers to as ingenium.
