We'll be starting from Latin 247. If possible, read the objections in advance. Descartes' Meditations are a classic of philosophy, typically regarded as kicking off the modern period of philosophy. In the text, Descartes seeks to knock down and rebuild all he knows in order to finally find security in his cognitions and a path forward for securing knowledge of God and man's nature. We welcome both beginners and advanced readers. Various translations are available; please select the one you prefer. Text links (Amazon): Cottingham translation (Cambridge) Cress translation (Hackett) Heffernan translation (English/Latin, Notre Dame) There is also a translation by Norman Kemp Smith, but it is out of print Digital links: Cottingham translation (Libgen, Cambridge) Cress translation (Libgen, Hackett) Latin text (Project Gutenberg)
