Discourse on Method and The Meditations by René Descartes
reflective
slow-paced
3.0
The Discourse on Methods was nice, but The Meditations were a bit rough.
My favourite part is when Descartes urges me to have a splayed open animal heart in front of me as I read so as to better understand the point he is trying to make.

My first venture into Afrofuturism and I’m slightly underwhelmed. Should’ve been much, much longer, but overall it was fun.
