Lo he releído como lectura complementaria para la asignatura de filosofía de la mente. Me ha servido para comprender un poco mejor su dualismo.

At 70%: I don't agree with Descartes whatsoever, his "truths" were based on his religious beliefs - a victim of his time.
After finishing: I actually finished his works and had to give the guy 3 stars. If I removed the "God talk", it made sense.

I normally wouldn't rate a philosophy book a 4 (mostly because I like philosophy but don't love it), but I have to make an exception here. I read this for class a while back, and I really enjoyed how well it was written. I especially like Descartes' version of God (controversial choice, I know), and I actually liked doing my paper about that. Can I sound any nerdier? Sure! I just liked its accessibility and that it was more vibrant than dry. Rather rare for a philosophy piece to be like that, at least from all I've read so far.

Obra primordial del pensamiento moderno, que inicia y desarrolla nuevas formas de reflexionar en torno a los usos de la razón, los sentidos, la existencia de Dios, la geometría, etc.
Cogito ergo sum. Pienso, luego existo es la premisa básica de la que se vale Descartes para iniciar la búsqueda de verdades claras y límpidas, mediante el solo uso de la razón, en un mundo que abundan confusiones, prejuicios y errores. Y el modo de operar de la razón, según Descartes, podría ser potenciado básicamente a partir de cuatro pasos sencillamente enunciados en su tratado, los cuales cimentaron toda una tradición de pensamiento filosófico que abunda en evidencias en todo tipo de materias y temporalidades.
