I don't think I'm really cut out for philosophy. Here are some reasons why I did not like this book. Others will probably occur to me later:1) Descartes' best argument for the existence of God - bearing in mind this is supposedly one of the best philosophers in history - boils down to "I can imagine...

Cogito Ergo Sum......more correctly, " Je pense donc je suis" ... I think, therefore, I am.Anyways, Descartes, ladies and gentlemen... I've been trying to read some more basic philosophy, and this one is one of my favorites. I like Descartes' method (yes, pun intended) in discovering and discerning ...
The book ends right when it starts getting really interesting. It’s an unfinished work and ends just as he’s getting into the Cartesian coordinate system as an example of deduction from clear and distinct truths.
