Meditations on First Philosophy and Other Metaphysical Writings (Arcturus Classics) - Kindle edition by Descartes, René, Sewall, Frank, Veitch, John. Download it once and read it on your Kindle device, PC, phones or tablets. Use features like bookmarks, note taking and highlighting while reading Meditations on First Philosophy and Other Metaphysical Writings (Arcturus Classics). Review: Great selection; old but seemingly good translation by John Veitch - The book does not seem to name the translator anywhere, which I find disrespectful to their effort. However, comparison of the text with others indicates it is the late 19th/early 20th c. translation by John Veitch. A modern one might be a bit clearer to us, but perhaps his language can also said to be well reflective of Descartes rambling Latin sentences. I like the selection - the entire Meditations, the entire Discourse on Method (whose part IV focuses on his famous 'cogito...'), and what seems to be a significant portion of his Principles of Philosophy. and a scholarly introduction of ten pages or so.
