Meditations Penguin Great Ideas

“Meditations (Penguin Great Ideas)” by René Descartes is a cornerstone of modern philosophy, in which Descartes uses radical doubt to rebuild knowledge from a secure foundation. Across a series of meditations, he examines the nature of the self, the existence of God, and the divide between mind and body, shaping debates on certainty, reason, and reality. This compact Penguin Great Ideas edition appeals to students, general readers, and lifelong learners searching for “Descartes Meditations,” “Penguin philosophy classics,” and accessible introductions to early modern thought.
