Haldane and G.R.T. Ross. Edited with an Introduction by Enrique Chavez-Arvizo.\n\n Rene Descartes (1569-1650), the 'father' of modern philosophy, is without doubt one of the greatest thinkers in history: his genius lies at the core of our contemporary intellectual identity. Breaking with the conventions of his own time and suffering persecution by the Church as a consequence, Descartes in his writings - most of which are philosophical classics - attempted to answer the central questions surrounding the self, God, free-will and knowledge, using the science of thought as opposed to received wisdom based on the tenets of faith.\n\n This edition, the most comprehensive one-volume selection of Descartes' works available in English, includes his great essay, Discourse on Method.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wordsworth Editions, 1997","offers":[{"title":"Key Philosophical Writings \/ NEW","offer_id":54064750592292,"sku":"9781853264702NW","price":10.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_3501b009-b14a-42eb-a796-407db2724a02.jpg?v=1779987484","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/products\/9781853264702","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
