About the Book

Experience timeless classics like never before in this Grand Type Collector's Edition With clear, easy-to-read formatting, this edition is designed for readers who prefer or require larger text without sacrificing the excitement of the original. Large Print Features: 18-point font: Generously sized text for maximum readability and comfort. Sans-serif font: Clean, modern typeface designed to reduce visual strain. Italics are bolded: Important emphasis is maintained without thin, hard-to-see lettering. Easy-to-read line lengths: Shorter rows of text (under 45 characters per line) make reading smoother and less tiring. In this groundbreaking work, René Descartes embarks on a radical search for truth by questioning everything he once believed. Using his method of systematic doubt, he strips away assumptions and rebuilds knowledge on the firm ground of reason and certainty. From the famous declaration cogito, ergo sum ("I think, therefore I am") to reflections on the nature of existence, the relationship between mind and body, and the concept of a perfect being, Descartes crafts a framework that reshaped the very foundations of philosophy. First published in the 17th century, Discourse on Method and Meditations on First Philosophy laid the foundation for modern philosophy and rational inquiry. By challenging medieval scholasticism and prioritizing reason, Descartes transformed approaches to knowledge, science, and metaphysics. His bold exploration of doubt, certainty, and the nature of reality influenced generations of thinkers across disciplines, from philosophy to psychology. Clear, precise, and revolutionary, the text remains a cornerstone of Western intellectual history.

About the Author :
René Descartes, born on March 31, 1596, in La Haye en Touraine, France, was a French philosopher, mathematician, and scientist. He is often regarded as the father of modern philosophy due to his influential works that departed from traditional scholasticism. Descartes' approach emphasized reason and individual thought, laying the groundwork for the Enlightenment.In 1637, Descartes published Discourse on the Method, introducing his famous dictum, "I think, therefore I am" (Cogito, ergo sum). This work outlined his method of systematic doubt and is considered a foundational text in Western philosophy. His contributions to mathematics include the development of Cartesian geometry, which bridged algebra and geometry.Descartes spent much of his later life in the Dutch Republic, engaging with prominent intellectuals of the time. In 1641, he released Meditations on First Philosophy, further exploring metaphysics and the nature of existence. Descartes passed away on February 11, 1650, in Stockholm, Sweden, leaving a lasting legacy in both philosophy and science.
