Review # 1 was written on 2012-03-31 00:00:00 Rosaire Martin Descartes in 90 Minutes, Paul Strathern Rene Descartes spent most of his childhood in solitude, a situation that also came to characterize his adult life. Happily, these countless lonely hours helped Descartes produce the declaration that changed all philosophy: "I think, therefore I am." Eventually convincing himself to doubt and disregard sensory knowledge, Descartes found he could prove his existence through his thoughts. This internal information, he believed, was the true reality; external forces were hopelessly deceiving. In Descartes in 90 Minutes, Paul Strathern offers a concise, expert account of Descartes's life and ideas, and explains their influence on man's struggle to understand his existence in the world. The book also includes selections from Descartes's work; a brief list of suggested reading for those who wish to push further; and chronologies that place Descartes within his own age and in the broader scheme of philosophy. تاریخ نخستین خوانش: ماه ژوئن سال 2004 میلادی عنوان: آشنایی با دکارت؛ نویسنده: پل استراترن؛ مترجم: هومن اعرابی؛ تهران، نشر مرکز، 1378؛ در 64 ص؛ از مجموعه آشنائی با فیلسوفان؛ شابک: 9643054667؛ چاپ دوم 1380؛ چاپ دیگر: 1384؛ چاپ سوم 1386؛ کتابنامه زیرنویس؛ موضوع: نقد و تفسیر رنه دکارت - از سال 1596 میلادی تا سال 1650 - فیلسوفان فرانسوی - قرن 17 م شرح زندگی و آثار دکارت، نوشته‌ های او، گاه‌شمار رخدادهای مهم فلسفی و تقویم زندگی و زمانه‌ ی دکارت. ا. شربیانی
