Synopsis

Rene Descartes is the father of modern philosophy. Famously, he is the philosopher who was prepared to doubt everything - even his own physical existence.



Most people also know that he said 'I think, therefore I am', even if they are not sure what he really meant by it.



Introducing Descartes is a clear and accessible guide to all the puzzling questions he asked about human beings and their place in the world.
