Reviews / Votes
"The new version of Cress's translation of Descartes's Meditations has attained an unusually high degree of readability . . . and, at the same time, of fidelity to the original. This combination . . . makes the work especially suitable for classroom use." -Roger Ariew, University of South Florida, and Marjorie Grene (1910-2009), Virginia Polytechnic Institute "An excellent edition and the price is fair." -Alan Soble, University of New OrleansMore details
