Meditations

Rene Descartes

Meditations, whose full title is "Meditations on First Philosophy, in which the existence of God and the immortality of the soul are demonstrated", is a work first published in 1641, in Latin, under the title Meditationes de Prima Philosophia, in qua Dei existentia et animæ immortalitas demonstratur.

The work comprises six meditations:

●First meditation: Of things that can be called into doubt.

●Second meditation: Of the nature of the human mind.

●Third meditation: Concerning God, that he exists.

●Fourth meditation: Concerning the true and the false.

●Fifth meditation: Of the essence of material things, and again concerning God, that he exists.

●Sixth meditation: Of the existence of material things, and the real distinction between mind and body.
