Discourse on Method and Meditations on First Philosophy by René Descartes
challenging
reflective
slow-paced
2.5
The famed "I think, therefore I am" lived up to it's expectations. I can see how this book was quite influential for its time, and provided useful insights into the time period, but was an absolute chore to read.
I was able to reflect on the questions asked by Descartes, proving beneficial for my own self. On the other hand, over half the book did not speak to me. His "proof" of God existing was laughable at best and sad at its worst. I guess that was to be expected as this kind of blind faith to religious dogma was commanded at the time.
