By calling everything into doubt, Descartes laid the foundations of modern philosophy. With the celebrated words "I think therefore I am," his compelling argument swept aside ancient and medieval traditions. He deduced that human beings consist of minds and bodies; that these are totally distinct "substances"; that God exists and that He ensures we can trust the evidence of our senses. Ushering in the "scientific revolution" of Galileo and Newton, his ideas have set the agenda for debate ever since. His philosophical methods and investigation changed the course of Western philosophy and led to or transformed the fields of metaphysics, epistemology, physics and mathematics, political theory and ethics.Public Domain (P)2009 Blackstone Audio, Inc.

The unabridged version is a bit difficult to follow ! The sentences are very long and the narrative is complex .

I really get a sense of who the author is and he has put his thoughts down on paper in such a way that it is easy to understand why he came to the conclusions that he has come to. For those that are looking for thoughtful affirmations to support faith and god, this book is for you.

Thoughtful and positive

Excellently performed. Includes the Discourse on Method, the Meditations on First Philosophy, a Letter to Princess Elizabeth, and the Principles of Philosophy in toto. A great value for three of Descartes most important works. The translation is older, like most of Audible books to keep the price reasonable and is very readable, clear and distinct. Highly recommended!
