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...

Descartes | Rene Descartes

He forgot current authors 👀😳📚🥰

meghathecloud 😂he did indeed. 4y

Leniverse Or did he? Maybe he didn't read contemporary authors! I'm curious about his reading habits now. 4y

Ddzmini @Leniverse he could only read up to what he had available and what‘s classics to us may have been non-classics to him because they where written in his time ??? 4y

Leniverse Yes, of course. Which means that he is also discounting himself as irrelevant. Or at least as someone who had yet to become relevant. (Although the quote might have been taken out of context.) 4y
