Here is a link to an e-text of Rene Descartes' Meditations, parts of which will make up our next reading and our study of skepticism and radical doubt. We will look at the second meditation at least.

If the link doesn't work, go to Gutenberg.org and search for Descartes, then find his Meditations.
I plan to have you read parts of this in class together, but it is a big advantage to read it once on your own first. Part of the pleasure of reading Descartes lies in enjoying his mastery of language. (Not all philosophers were great writers.) Descartes was a French philosopher and this is a translation of the original text.
