A Short Introduction to Descartes

A clear and concise introduction to one of the most important philosophers to have ever lived, Rene Descartes. He turned the European intellectual world upside down by with his method of doubt, bringing into collision the power of religion and the still-infant power of reason. Out of Descartes, natural philosophy would be born, and his importance stems less from the veracity of his theories than from the journey that he takes you on.
