About this ebook

Can a person find a belief that survives even the most radical doubt? This original English critical introduction follows René Descartes from the dream and deceiver arguments to the cogito, the wax example, clear and distinct perception, and his attempt to recover a trustworthy world. Eighteen chapters examine the arguments for God, the Cartesian circle, error, science, and Princess Elisabeth's challenge about mind and body. Includes invented contemporary examples, a working glossary, annotated sources, and a chapter-to-source map. An accessible analysis, not a translation or a promise of certainty.
