by René Descartes (1596-1650). Translated by John Veitch (1829-1894).

After several years working on a treatise putting forth his mechanistic philosophy and physics, Descartes shelved the project when his contemporary, Galileo, was charged with heresy. That work, The World, was only published after Descartes' death. It seems that Descartes must have had this, in part at least, in mind when writing his more famous philosophical works. This is especially clear in the Meditations, not only in the obsequiousness of the Letter of Dedication, but also in the specific mode of argument, which does not seek merely to found science upon grounds acceptable to religious authority, but to specifically found a mathematical science; one which clearly privileges mathematical demonstrations even over common sense judgments based upon everyday and constant experience. His Copernicanism, put forth posthumously in The World, would require just such a defense.
The Meditations are a central work of early modern philosophy, and play a crucial role in the conceptual development of basic perspectives and problems in the Western tradition, including substance dualism, external world skepticism, and the modern notion of the subject.

+RoXXXyCotton its not meditation..its just reasoning ones perception like everyone. being an illusionist. when intuitions run wild then things pop up which may seem interesting but remain blunt when applied to certain discipline. people practicing or who know meditation are unknown and they achieve peace and nirvana. no body knows how budhha did it. they only follow what he said.
no you don't understand
_one of my favorite, if not the very most favorite -- that is to say, absolute -- narrator. at once poetic and exact. not a stranger to the texts. expresses proper sentiment. works hard. is outstanding_
_that being said, we all live in the dark shadow of Descartes. even when you think you are breaking free, you're not. for the symbolic disguise that is our unspoken presupposition and philosophy of life -- mathematical physics -- is so deeply ingrained into our way of life that we do not even notice it; most of our work in thinking goes into UNDOING this shadow. let the phenomena appear, as it is. not as you would force it -- and nature -- to be. it's voodoo. nature is not the symbol._
33:15 is the first meditation
Thank you so much lol
Thank you so much too.
oh my god, from your words I do stumble with great alacrity! Descartes!

The end that I seek is not action, but knowledge
Could the narrator sound any more monotone
If I listen to this, is it including pages 13-52 in the Baird and Kauffman version? Cuz I wanna listen instead of read, but I wanna know when to start and stop.
Thanks.
Meditations on First Philosophy Great Book. 1st Meditation starts @ 33:15
Second Meditation 49:25
I have to do it myself so I am isolated from everyone, it's a slow release process and we tried to speed it up. I can help you with yours. But he will come up to you, talk to you about it and fasttrack you then you go psychotic.
I don't even understand this XD so confusing and hard to follow
Read by a tranquilized Nicholas Cage.
Descartes, the original CZcams commenter.
This is mind-numbingly boring, but I suppose it beats actually reading it >.<
Thanks for the upload though, I have to take this in for my Philosophy class
33:15 🔖🔖
If I may express my personal opinion (as we are all entitled to our own), there can be two types of individuals who find philosophy of this measure to be boring. The first is one whose mind is too fragile to handle the discussion of matters in which challenge the very existence of the substance incapable of its own comprehension in which case all of these things will go above their heads. The second is one whose mind is beyond knowlege and philosophy and has already challenged and defeated all arguments of existence, in which case I would very much like to have an intellectual conversation with these individuals so that I can pick their brain and in turn gain for myself a better knowlege of the existence and illusions of consciousness.
I experience pain from cutting my finger, therefore I am. It's some real as stuff.
ugh

Rene Descartes, philosopher, yet,extremely fallacious, best tutorial for mental gymnastics or apologetics, he was either in fear of his life like Gali, or after the bone.
The Meditations are interesting. The guy reading this however is dull and monotonous
I am 30 minutes in and Renee is yet to argue a single point-instead repetitious claims that he possesses a proof that god exists and that atheists simply do not take care to comprehend it. Par for the course for theists.
The book starts 33:15 in, maybe you should listen to the entire thing before you make your argument.
140 character version please
If you study the history of it that's not his personal view it was simply necessary that he make those claims to appease the faculty of theology (dangerous times)
lack of guts, if such were the case we can say that he then prioritize his existence in this realm, than finding what is actual truth and therefore of more importance for humanity.
he got corrupted by dogmatic religion due to either fear or financial need.
