sookieskipper's review
Much of the content repeats and repeats and repeats. Maybe its the edition that I own that has the problem, but overall it wasn't an enjoyable read, in the way collection was put together. The reason why I picked up this book was primarily how Descartes lays out rules for rational thought process and how to problem solve. Descartes was a great mathematician and its fascinating to read his philosophical point of view in the way he looked at mathematics and arrived at solutions. It becomes a little muddled when the rules for intelligence shift to second half of the book. I think, therefore I am is his most well known phrase which acts as a setting to some of the claims he makes as an enlightened man.
