Reviews for Discourse on Method and Meditations on First Philosophy

The 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
