Рене Декарт и Бенедикт Спиноза – два величайших мыслителя Нового времени; про них говорили, что они освободили философию от оков средневековья и поставили вопросы, которые навсегда останутся главными. Декарт напрямую связывал существование человека со способностью к мышлению («я мыслю, следовательно, существую»), он же утверждал, что «интеллект – это страсть». Границы мира и познания, место и роль человека в мире, этические нормы, такие как добро и зло, любовь и ненависть, презрение и самоуничижение, совесть, – всё это с необычайной глубиной исследуется в работах Декарта и Спинозы, представленных в данной книге.

Las Meditaciones metafísicas, fue publicada por primera vez en 1641, en latín y posteriormente en francés en 1647. En ella se elabora el sistema filosófico que había introducido en 1637, en la 4ª parte del Discurso del método.El principal objetivo es la demostración de Dios mediante razonamientos lógicos y definir las bases del conocimiento del momento con el fin de disponerlo sobre unas bases más sólidas de las que había hasta entonces. Descartes también estudia la naturaleza dual del hombre compuesta por el pensamiento y el cuerpo. En definitiva, Descartes busca encontrar la verdad de las cosas a través de la razón.

Рене Декарт – выдающийся математик, физик и физиолог. До сих пор мы используем созданную им математическую символику, а его система координат отражает интуитивное представление человека эпохи Нового времени о бесконечном пространстве. Но прежде всего Декарт – философ, предложивший метод радикального сомнения для решения вопроса о познании мира. В «Правилах для руководства ума» он пытается доказать, что результатом любого научного занятия является особое направление ума, и указывает способ достижения истинного знания. В трактате «Первоначала философии» Декарт пытается постичь знание как таковое, подвергая всё сомнению, и сформулировать законы физики. Тексты снабжены подробными комментариями и разъяснениями.

Contained here in this volume are two of the most influential works of philosophy ever written, Descartes’ “Discourse on Method” and “Meditations on First Philosophy.” First published in 1637, “Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting the Reason and Seeking for Truth in the Sciences,” as it is more fully known, is a foundational work of modern philosophy which is noted for being one of the first to apply the scientific method to the discipline. Descartes approaches the subject of skepticism in philosophy by throwing away all preconceived notions of reality and building up from a base of truths he found to be incontrovertible. It is from this work that we find one of Descartes’ most famous quotations “I think, therefore I am.” This phrase alone probably best exemplifies what Descartes believed to be an incontrovertible truth. First published in 1641, “Meditations on First Philosophy” follows upon his earlier work by applying his method to a philosophical examination of the existence of God and the immortality of the soul. While the philosophical conclusions arrived at by Descartes’ work have met with criticism, his profound influence ultimately lies with his insistence on questioning everything. This edition follows the translation of Elizabeth S. Haldane and includes an introduction by A. D. Lindsay.

Is it possible to be certain of anything? If so, how? The father of modern philosophy and the founder of rational method in philosophical thought, Ren&#233; Descartes (1596&#8211;1650) sought the answers to these questions and in doing so, addressed the most important of methods of thinking and understanding truth. In <I>Discourse on Method,</I> he applies a scientific approach to philosophy that comprises four principles: to accept only what reason recognizes as «clear and distinct»; to analyze complex ideas by dividing them into smaller elements; to reconstruct the ideas; and to make accurate and complete enumerations of the data. His <I>Meditations</I> proceed according to this method, exploring the mind/body distinction, the nature of truth and error, the existence of God, and the essence of material things.
