Discourse on Method and The Meditations by René Descartes
3.0
104th book of 2021.
3.5. Full review to come. I enjoyed Discourse far more than Meditations. I also read an older Penguin edition translated by Wollaston that I cannot find on GR for some reason, so this newer Penguin cover will suffice. Though I wanted to read Aristotle before branching out into Descartes, Aristotle is proving to be annoyingly hard to find (for a reasonable price, that is). Descartes is a good writer and his work is clearly written but some of his ideas are quite transparently outdated and no longer stand as they must have done at first. Nevertheless, I found this to be an enjoyable and thought-provoking read. Now to backtrack and find some Aristotle, which is the universe's intended order, no doubt.
