Metaphysical reflections on first philosophy

Number of pages: 115. Author: René Descartes. Publisher: Madarek Publishing and Distribution. Year of publication: 2021. Descartes, or as most thinkers like to call him, "Father of Modernity," came with his six metaphysical meditations to serve as the fundamental basis for thinking. He is among the modern philosophers who demolished the old way of thinking, the Aristotelian method and the traditional approach that was prevalent during the Middle Ages and before. In this book, you will find six meditations, or rather stages, which Descartes gradually arranged to ultimately reach a conclusion based on solid foundations, and these meditations are: 1- Meditation on things that can be doubted. 2- Meditation on the nature of the human soul, which we know better than we know the body. 3- Meditation on the existence of God. 4- Meditation on correctness and error. 5- Meditation on the essence of material things, then a return to the existence of God. 6- Meditation on the existence of material things and the true difference between the human soul and the body. These six famous meditations are the solid ground upon which later thinkers, scientists, and writers from various disciplines and sciences walked.
