Discourse on Method and Meditations on First Philosophy

A revised translation of "Meditations" (from the corrected Latin edition), and corrections to "Discourse on Method", this text aims to get closer to Descartes' original work, while maintaining the clear and accessible style of the teaching edition.

René Descartes

This fourth edition offers a significant increase in key selections while retaining those features that have made this the most versatile and trusted anthology available for the teaching of philosophy: pre-eminent translations of classic texts, expert editorial aids, depth and balance.

In keeping with those virtues which have made it the leading collection of its kind, the fifth edition of Classics of Western Philosophy features unabridged works (or substantive selections) in preeminent and thoughtfully annotated translations and editions. As before, Introductions by a team of distinguished scholars including William Mann, Steven Cahn, Patricia W. Kitcher, George Sher, Derk Pereboom, Philip W. Kitcher, Charles Guignon, Israel Scheffler, and Jonathan Vogel offer authoritative guidance to the philosophers and their work. And now coverage extends into the twentieth century, culminating in a judicious-and nontechnical-selection of philosophical writings that are both classic in their own right and representative of main currents of recent philosophical thought.

Selections from Aristotle's "Metaphysics" and "On the Soul" have been expanded, while Aristotle's "Physics and Nicomachean Ethics", Hume's "Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding", Mill's "On Liberty", and Russell's "The Problem of Philosophy" have been further abridged.
