Discurso del método. Meditaciones metafísticas

Discurso del método. Meditaciones metafísticas

Discurso del método. Meditaciones metafísticas

El cartesianismo hace mucho tiempo que murió. El pensamiento de Descartes, sin embargo, pervive y pervivirá mientras exista como guía de reflexión la libertad de pensar. Este principio constituye la más deliciosa fábula que el hombre pudo inventar, y eso se lo debe a la humanidad, en buena parte, a Descartes y, especialmente, a las dos obras que el lector tiene entre sus manos. Leer a Descartes es uno de los mejores ejercicios para mantener vivo el más importante impulso de la filosofía moderna: una duda previa absoluta, un escepticismo como punto de partida del genuino saber.

Con todo, el principal mérito del que pasa por ser el primer racionalista oficial de la historia de la filosofía, ha consistido en su matizada crítica al pensamiento dogmático. Nada, efectivamente, puede ser aceptado en virtud de una autoridad cualquiera. Este héroe del pensamiento moderno, en palabras de Hegel, ha llevado a la filosofía por caminos apenas percibidos anteriormente, atreviéndose, por decirlos en palabras de Dalembert, a enseñar a las buenas cabezas a sacudirse el yugo de la escolástica, de la opinión, de la autoridad; en una palabra, de los prejuicios y de la barbarie y, con esta rebelión cuyos frutos recogemos hoy, ha hecho a la filosofía más esencial quizá que todos los que ésta debe a los ilustres sucesores de Descartes.

Cold as Ice (Cold as Ice #1)

Cold as Ice  (Cold as Ice #1)

Cold as Ice (Cold as Ice #1)

Twenty-five years ago there was a great interplanetary war in the Solar System. It was a suicidal spasm in which terrible weapons were created and used; in which nine billion people were killed. The rivalries that led to the war are not gone. And a few of those deadly weapons remain--some still orbiting the sun in the debris of destroyed ships,s some deliberately placed in storage.

Now Cyrus Mobarak, the man who perfected the fusion engine, is determined to bring human settlement to the protected seas of Europa. Opposing him is Hilda Brandt, Europa's administrator. And caught between them are three remarkable young people: Jon Perry, Camille Hamilton, and Wilsa Sheer.

Cold As Ice (Nancy Drew: Files, #54)


Nancy spends a winter weekend on campus -- and finds that crime is on the curriculum
Ned invites Nancy, Bess, and George to Emerson College's Winter Carnival for four days of nonstop skiing, skating, and sleigh riding. But a jewel heist on campus puts a big chill on the weekend, and the police believe they have their man cold. His name is Rob Harper, and he's one of Ned's best friends!
Convinced of Rob's innocence, Nancy undertakes an investigation of her own. But the action on ice proves more slippery than she expected. Someone at Emerson is out to teach Nancy a lesson and show her just how dangerous winter sports can be. When it comes to jewelry, some like it hot -- and the carnival of crime is heating up fast!

Krishnamurti to Himself: His Last Journal

Krishnamurti's last journal, spoken into a tape recorder at his home, Pine Cottage, in the Ojai Valley, brings the reader close to this renowned spiritual teacher. Dictated in the mornings, from his bed, undisturbed, Krishnamurti's observations are captured here in all their immediacy and candor, from personal reflections to poetic musings on nature and a serene meditation on death.

Reflecting the culmination of a life of spiritual exploration, these remarkable final teachings engage and enlighten.
