Review: good book - good book
Review: Perfectly fine collection, I just hate Descartes as a person. - Read up on Descartes personal life and his philosophy will make a whole lot more sense. His division of mind and body was a clear symptom of a sickly childhood. It was a coping mechanism... and quite frankly, an attractive one for a lot of people. The Western disconnection of mind and body that exists to this day falls to a large extent upon Descartes, and is responsible for massive environmental degradation and terrible habits. Thanks a lot Descartes... you pretty much ruined the world.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfectly fine collection, I just hate Descartes as a person.

Read up on Descartes personal life and his philosophy will make a whole lot more sense. His division of mind and body was a clear symptom of a sickly childhood. It was a coping mechanism... and quite frankly, an attractive one for a lot of people. The Western disconnection of mind and body that exists to this day falls to a large extent upon Descartes, and is responsible for massive environmental degradation and terrible habits. Thanks a lot Descartes... you pretty much ruined the world.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good translation, good introduction
*by A***R on December 16, 2015*

Translation is excellent and readable, with additional footnotes for further elucidation. Descartes is an important person in Western philosophy and cannot be overlooked, whatever you think of his views. This is a great starting point.
