Rene Descartes: Meditations on First Philosophy

Structure

Descartes does not outline the text with a systematic structure. He writes the meditations in a first-person point-of-view, intending for the readers to meditate with him. Thus, the text serves as a handbook of meditative practices-- it does not only convey a message, but an experience, too.[6]
