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

第一哲学沉思集读起来可谓别开生面，本来可以用很传统的方式说的话，笛卡尔却诉诸华丽又惊世骇俗的假设。 这本书，依我说，不需要全部细读，因为里面混杂了太多客套话、只有经院哲学内部才有人会讨论的琐碎论争（观念形式地、客观地、或是卓越地存在于某个原因之类的我们很难认...  

着怀疑外衣的独断论者 我一直想知道，在思想史上是否存在所谓的原创。以前以为，笛卡尔通过思维来把握第一确定性是一个原创，最近才知道，奥古斯丁以及空想社会主义者康帕内拉（《太阳城》作者）也使用过类似的方法来破除怀疑论的。 在证明上帝存在时，笛卡尔使用了两个方...  

正當讀到梁文道的文章(1)，感嘆《沉思錄》這部「真正的經典」在台灣書局消失之時，書店的角落靜悄悄地擺上五南最新出版的《沉思錄》。其時正當2月，準備回港渡假，心想寒假回台，連同《奇怪的戰敗》一起買吧！沒想到3月回來，它已經自台南各大小書局之中消失，連博客來都說缺貨...

用户评价

在第五沉思末尾处中有一个问题：笛卡尔认为所有知识的确定性的唯一来源是上帝保障的，那么对自明性的观念又作如何解释？比如像“我思故我在”这样的知识，即便是万能的上帝也无法欺骗我。而笛卡尔一直强调的凡是我极清楚极明白的观念就是真的正是这样一种自明性的观念，它们以直观和逻辑作为依靠，无须上帝作它们的支撑。笛卡尔的本意似乎是：我原先的极清楚极明白的观念作为认识途径认识到了上帝存在，认识了上帝的存在极其属性后才反过来从本体论上真正地保证了极清楚明白的认识是可靠的，但极清楚明白中自明性的这类东西恰恰可以独立于上帝的作用。
