Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Descartes' ideas not only changed the course of Western philosophy but also led to or transformed the fields of metaphysics, epistemology, physics and mathematics, political theory and ethics, psychoanalysis, and literature and the arts. This book reprints Descartes' major works, Discourse on Method and Meditations, and presents essays by leading scholars that explore his contributions in each of those fields and place his ideas in the context of his time and our own. There are chapters by David Weissman on metaphysics and psychoanalysis, John Post on epistemology, Lou Massa on physics and mathematics, William T. Bluhm on politics and ethics, and Thomas Pavel on literature and art. These essays are accompanied by others by David Weissman and by Stephen Toulmin that introduce the idea of intellectual lineages, discuss the period in which Descartes wrote, and reexamine the premises of his philosophy in light of contemporary philosophical, political, and social thinking.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metaphysical Meditation - 1952 : Original Writings of Paramhansa Yogananda : (Metaphysical Methods of Meditation)Most people want to meditate but do not know how to do so. The purpose of meditation is to know God - to connect the little joy of the soul with the vast joy of the Spirit - by disciplining body, mind, and soul.Meditation is not the same as concentration. Concentration consists in freeing the attention from objects of distraction and focusing it on one thing at a time. Meditation is that special form of concentration in which the attention has been liberated from restlessness, and is focused on God. A man may concentrate on divinity or on money, but he does not meditate on money or any material thing. Meditation is focused only on God or sacred thoughts and ideas.Meditation consists in certain physical, psychological, and metaphysical processes - by which the static of restlessness can be removed from the body, mind, and soul radios, which can then be tuned in with the Infinite.All forms of meditation involve the one who meditates, the process of meditation, and the object of the meditation. By calm, continuous, one pointed attention the ego must be kept connected to the Spirit until they both become merged into everlasting bliss.The meditator must know a definite method of meditation, and have a definite spiritual thought or experience to meditate on.In this book I am giving some concrete Metaphysical Methods of Meditation, for the student who has already struggled through the mobs of rowdy thoughts and crossed the portals of silence. The instructions will be found in the various sections of the book preceding each group of meditation.The meditations given are of three types: prayers or demands addressed to God, affirmations about God, and those spoken to the individual consciousness. Select one that meets your need and speak each word slowly and purposefully until you become absorbed in its inner meaning.

Book excerpt: The Meditations on First Philosophy is one of Descartes's best-known works and one of the most influential philosophical texts ever written, this treatise offers Descartes' metaphysical views on the relationship between the mind and thought, the nature of reality and how accumulated knowledge and our experiences affect us. First published in 1641, the work consists of six meditations on the following topics: the dubiousness of thoughts and assumptions - as Descartes puts it, 'what can be called into doubt'; the nature of the human mind; the existence of God; truth versus falsehood; the essence of material things and, finally, the difference between mind and body. For anyone interested in the study of philosophy, this is an essential and illuminating read.
