The father of modern philosophy, Descartes is still one of the most widely discussed philosophers today. Putting rationalism above all else, he sought to base all knowledge of the world on a single idea: ‘I think, therefore I am’.

This introduction expertly summarises his thoughts on the dualism of mind and body, his proofs for God’s existence and his responses to scepticism.

Explaining how his life informed his philosophy, Bracken demonstrates the philosopher’s enduring significance.

Harry M. Bracken is former Professor of Philosophy at McGill University. In an academic career spanning over fifty years, he has lectured around the world, and is the author of several books and numerous articles on Descartes and related topics.

Richard Aspel is a talented narrator of children's and adult audiobooks. He trained and worked in London, before returning to Australia where he has worked extensively in television, theatre and radio. His television credits include Neighbours and Carson's Law, and he provided various voices for The Silver Brumby animated series. Richard was nominated for the prestigious Audie Award (US) for his narration of The Mark of the Angel by Nancy Huston.
