Author Biography
Rene Descartes
ReviewsThe new version of Cress's translation of Descartes's Meditations has attained an unusually high degree of readability . . . and, at the same time, of fidelity to the original. This combination . . . makes the work especially suitable for classroom use. --Roger Ariew, University of South Florida, and Marjorie Grene (1910-2009), Virginia Polytechnic Institute An excellent edition and the price is fair. --Alan Soble, University of New Orleans
