This was one of my favorite videos when I was little. It taught me so much, and sparked an interest in deaf culture. Deaf studies is now my minor. A great learning video!

This is actually the second Plantronics Voyager 510 I purchased from Amazon. The first one was awesome. It was so good, in fact, that it ran through the washing machine and upon charging still worked great. Clarity in voice and reception were great. The second one; however, was not so good. I o

Product Description:

A new translation of Descartes' masterpiece, along with selections of his other late writings

The six Meditations and accompanying selections from the Objections and Replies provide a definitive statement of what Descartes intended as the foundations of his whole philosophy. His project was to resolve the epistemological questions brought about by the prevailing skepticism of his age; to build, from the basis of self-awareness (Cogito, ergo sum), through the notion of a benevolent God, to a systematic and novel approach to metaphysics; and to construct a secure starting-point for science.

The first part of a new two-volume edition of Descartes in Penguin Classics, this volume consists not only of a new translation of the original Latin text and extensive selections from the Objections and Replies, but also relevant correspondence from the period 1643-49, Part One of The Principles of Philosophy, and Comments on a Certain Manifesto, as examples of Descartes' other metaphysical writings from the period 1641-49.

A Key Enlightenment Text
6/14/2007
Arguably, this is the first philosophical text of the Enlightenment. Descartes famous cry 'Cogito Ergo Sum' was derived from this vary text, and all his other brilliant additions to philosophy are encoded within the pages as well.

This penguin addition includes Descartes letters of correspondence and various other writings (all of them wonderful reads).

I recommend this to ALL students interested in philosophy.
