Key Philosophical Writings | Rene Descartes

Anyone else gets annoyed by these? ://

Almost always can‘t get my focus back

AlaSkaat @kspenmoll it reminded me of the ‘can you find the the mistake? 123‘ so I kept going back and forth thinking I‘m reading it wrong ! There‘s so many punctuation mistakes in books though. Especially older ones. 3d

Descartes: A Very Short Introduction | Tom Sorell

pick

Everyone knows “I think, therefore I am” but after a full read-through of Descartes‘s Meditations in philosophy class, I wanted to know more about his work and life. I am fascinated by his emphasis that we should doubt our sensory views of the world for they are only a semblance of what he believes is the “true form” of the universe: a mathematical one, invisible initially, but eventually graspable by the rational human mind.

Heretics!: The Wondrous (and Dangerous) Beginnings of Modern Philosophy | Steven Nadler, Ben Nadler

pick

Graphic history of the development of 17th century philosophy and scientific thought. Did you take metaphysics in college? Did you understand it? I didn‘t and I wish I had had a book like this to help me out. Complex ideas explained for the average person and great cartoons to help. https://cannonballread.com/2022/07/heretics-the-wondrous-and-dangerous-beginning...
