توضیحات
René Descartes is remembered for one line—“I think, therefore I am.” But behind that famous phrase is a lifetime of doubts, dualisms, pineal glands, and planetary whirlpools. This book unpacks it all—without the Latin, without the theology exams, and without pretending the pineal gland makes any sense.Inside you’ll find:Descartes’ life story: sickly child, restless wanderer, cautious philosopher, and accidental victim of 5 a.m. Swedish philosophy lessons.His philosophy explained in plain English: Cogito, mind vs. body, animals as machines, and why he kept dragging God into every chapter.A tour through his major works: Rules for the Direction of the Mind, Discourse on Method, Meditations, Principles of Philosophy, The Passions of the Soul.His scientific side: Cartesian geometry (which you still use every time you plot a graph), his almost-laws of motion, and his cosmic whirlpool astronomy that Newton later crushed.His complicated faith: Did he really believe in God, or was he just very keen on avoiding the Inquisition?His legacy: why philosophers like Spinoza, Leibniz, Locke, Hume, and Kant all spent their careers wrestling with problems Descartes created.This is not a dry academic treatise. It’s a guided tour of Descartes’ mind with equal parts admiration and side-eye. You’ll laugh, you’ll doubt, you’ll feel sorry for his dog, and you’ll never look at a Cartesian coordinate plane the same way again.Whether you’re new to philosophy or just want to understand why every “brain in a jar” thought experiment starts with a 17th-century Frenchman hiding in bed till noon, Descartes in Plain English is your ticket.Because if you think, then you’ll read. And if you read, then—well, you exist.
