Here is a brilliant new translation of Descartes's Meditations, one of the most influential books in the history of Western philosophy, including the full texts of the Third and Fourth Objections and Replies, and a selection from the other exchanges. Discovering his own existence as a thinkingentity in the very exercise of doubt--in the famous formulation cogito, ergo sum--Descartes goes on to develop new conceptions of body and mind, capable of serving as foundations for a new science of nature. Subsequent philosophy has grappled with Descartes's ideas, but his arguments set the agendafor many of the greatest philosophical thinkers, and their fascination endures. This new translation pays particular attention to Descartes's terminology and style, with its elaborate but beautifully lucid syntax, careful balancing, and rhetorical signposting. The wide-ranging introduction placesthe work in the intellectual context of the time and discusses the nature of the work, its structure, key issues, and its influence on later thinkers. The book also includes notes, an up-to-date bibliography, a chronology, and an index.

But the lack of development in terms of the "first unmovable point" is what causes Descartes his loop and the use of God to keep his theory funtionable.

在第五沉思末尾处中有一个问题：笛卡尔认为所有知识的确定性的唯一来源是上帝保障的，那么对自明性的观念又作如何解释？比如像“我思故我在”这样的知识，即便是万能的上帝也无法欺骗我。而笛卡尔一直强调的凡是我极清楚极明白的观念就是真的正是这样一种自明性的观念，它们以直观和逻辑作为依靠，无须上帝作它们的支撑。笛卡尔的本意似乎是：我原先的极清楚极明白的观念作为认识途径认识到了上帝存在，认识了上帝的存在极其属性后... 在第五沉思末尾处中有一个问题：笛卡尔认为所有知识的确定性的唯一来源是上帝保障的，那么对自明性的观念又作如何解释？比如像“我思故我在”这样的知识，即便是万能的上帝也无法欺骗我。而笛卡尔一直强调的凡是我极清楚极明白的观念就是真的正是这样一种自明性的观念，它们以直观和逻辑作为依靠，无须上帝作它们的支撑。笛卡尔的本意似乎是：我原先的极清楚极明白的观念作为认识途径认识到了上帝存在，认识了上帝的存在极其属性后才反过来从本体论上真正地保证了极清楚明白的认识是可靠的，但极清楚明白中自明性的这类东西恰恰可以独立于上帝的作用。 (展开)
