User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐For a novice in the explorations in philosophy, I strongly advise getting a book of this type, the accompanying guide which explains the work. There is too much in the context of the time when these works were originally written that we do not know and cannot easily “pick-up” from the text. Even if Descartes at times sounds accessible, I found that I missed a significant point in the text way too often. Recommended.
