‘Meditations on First Philosophy’ is made up of six meditations, in which Descartes first discards all belief in things that are not absolutely certain, and then tries to establish what can be known for sure. He wrote the meditations as if he had meditated for six days: each meditation refers to the last one as ‘yesterday’. ‘Meditations on First Philosophy’ is one of the most influential philosophical texts ever written and it is widely read to this day.
About the author
René Descartes (1596-1650) was a French philosopher, mathematician, and scientist. Dubbed the father of modern Western philosophy, much of subsequent Western philosophy is a response to his writings, which are studied closely to this day.
