具体描述

Here is a brilliant new translation of Descartes's Meditations, one of the most influential books in the history of Western philosophy, including the full texts of the Third and Fourth Objections and Replies, and a selection from the other exchanges. Discovering his own existence as a thinkingentity in the very exercise of doubt--in the famous formulation cogito, ergo sum--Descartes goes on to develop new conceptions of body and mind, capable of serving as foundations for a new science of nature. Subsequent philosophy has grappled with Descartes's ideas, but his arguments set the agendafor many of the greatest philosophical thinkers, and their fascination endures. This new translation pays particular attention to Descartes's terminology and style, with its elaborate but beautifully lucid syntax, careful balancing, and rhetorical signposting. The wide-ranging introduction placesthe work in the intellectual context of the time and discusses the nature of the work, its structure, key issues, and its influence on later thinkers. The book also includes notes, an up-to-date bibliography, a chronology, and an index.

读后感

第一个沉思，论可以引起怀疑的事物 感官有时会欺骗我们：梦与现实是难以清楚分辨的。 但即便事实是假的，手脚等事物的组成部分必定为真。就像画像画的事物是假的，但画中的颜色总该是真的。 即便手脚等感官的组成部分也是假的，按照上述原理，总该有更简单的一般东西为真实存...  

从英文来看，第一哲学沉思集也算是不是很难懂的书，但看中文，我是不找不到一点阅读的乐趣，很多次，我只有借助我很差的英语和百度翻译来一步一步的对比阅读。 我觉得，哲学是不是我认为的那样哲学我不知道，但第一哲学沉思集从英文来看，不算是很难懂的。但从中文来看，确实一...  

Meditation I：普遍怀疑 第一沉思的核心在于“普遍怀疑”。 其目标是为了在科学上建立某种坚定可靠、经久不变的基础，因而需要通过普遍怀疑把过去信以为真的见解统统清除，从根本上重新开始。而在具体方法上，笛卡尔认为不需要通过对一个个具体见解的分析来一一排除，而只...  

第二个沉思中的“我思故我在” 笛卡尔在《第一哲学沉思集》的第二个沉思中，提出了著名的“我思故我在”论证。这是笛卡尔秉持着绝对怀疑原则进行考察之后，找到的一个不可再怀疑的“阿基米德支点”。也就是说，即使我说服自己相信世界上没有天、没有地、没有物体，我也不能怀疑...

Cogito, Ergo Sum: the sledgehammer discovery of self-consciousness that kicks start modern philosophy. But the lack of development in terms of the "first unmovable point" is what causes Descartes his loop and the use of God to keep his theory funtionable. One must not forget his contribution in mathematics as the discoverer of Coordinate geometry.
