Meditations Metaphysiques

About “Meditations Metaphysiques”

Meditations on First Philosophy is a philosophical work by René Descartes, first published in Latin in 1641. It was later translated into French and published in 1647 under the title Méditations Métaphysiques. The book aims to demonstrate the existence of God and the immortality of the soul. The original title may have been misread by the printer, with some suggesting the phrase "animae immaterialitas" was mistaken for "animae immortalitas." The work is a key text in Western philosophy.
