The Philosophical Writings of Descartes: Volume 3, The Correspondence: 003 (Philosophical Writings of Descartes (Paperback))

Description

Volumes I and II provide a completely new translation of the philosophical works of Descartes, based on the best available Latin and French texts. Volume III contains 207 of Descartes' letters, over half of which have not been translated into English before. It incorporates, in its entirety, Anthony Kenny's celebrated translation of selected philosophical letters, first published in 1970. In conjunction with Volumes I and II it is designed to meet the widespread demand for a comprehensive, accurate and authoritative edition of Descartes' philosophical writings in clear and readable modern English. Review: Incredible work - This volume of Descartes’s correspondences is one of the greatest compiled works of his that there is. It’s incredible to me that it’s not more widely available given its significance, and the fact that he puts to work, in practical effect, many of his theoretical maxims and philosophical methodologies. Review: Good product, bad delivery - The product itself is fairly good, and the customer serive is good. But the delivery is so bad. The first attemp was made by DHL but unfortunately it failed because no body was at home, and there was no second attempt. Later, I contacted the seller, and they reached back to me saying that the package was at a pick-up location of Canada post for days. Finally I got adelivery card from CA post, but was asked for a 15-CAD pick-up fee. Don't know why I should pay this money since this is not showed in the order detail.
