DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Philosophy of Descartes in Extracts From His Writings, Selected and Translated The following translations from the philosophical writiiigs Of Descartes are made with one exception, from the French text of Cousin 3 edition Of the col lected works in eleven volumes. The extracts from the Principles are translated from the Latin text of an Elzevir edition Of the Opera Amst., 1677. NO selections have been made from the mathe matical writings, as not coming within the scope Of the series. For the same reason, as well as for want Of space, the more specifically physical views Of Des cartes are not fully represented. Much, perhaps, will be missed, but, on the other hand, portions of writings which, to the translator's knowledge, have not hither to appeared in English, have been introduced. It is perhaps unnecessary to add that in making his selec tions the translator has derived much aid from the great historians Of philosophy, particularly, Kuno Fischer, Erdmann, and Ueberweg, and from the recent treatise of Liard. In the revision Of certain portions of the work, Professor Veitch's version has been con sulted with advantage.
