Beschreibung

In "Meditations on First Philosophy," Ren√© Descartes embarks on a profound philosophical journey, questioning the foundations of knowledge and existence. Written in a clear and methodical style, this landmark work employs a systematic approach that echoes the emerging scientific rationalism of the 17th century. Divided into six meditations, Descartes meticulously deconstructs previously held beliefs, establishing a radical form of skepticism that ultimately serves to reaffirm his famous conclusion, "Cogito, ergo sum" (I think, therefore I am). The text not only engages with metaphysical concepts but also influences epistemology, laying groundwork for modern philosophy. Ren√© Descartes, often hailed as the father of modern Western philosophy, was a mathematician and philosopher whose intellectual climate was deeply infused with the scientific revolution. His innovations were shaped by the dichotomy of faith and reason prevalent in his time, as well as a personal quest for certainty amidst the chaos of 17th-century Europe. Descartes'Äîthe proponent of analytical geometry'Äîtranscended traditional scholasticism, seeking clarity and definitive truth in his explorations of the human mind. For readers yearning for a rigorous examination of the self and reality, "Meditations on First Philosophy" is an essential text that challenges assumptions and cultivates a spirit of inquiry. This riveting exploration of thought and existence not only resonates through centuries but also invites contemporary readers to reflect on their own understanding of knowledge and belief.

    In The 1930s, Irish schoolchildren were tasked with asking their oldest relatives and neighbours about stories and superstitions from times past so that ordinary people's lives could be preserved and celebrated. What those schoolchildren wrote in their copybooks resulted in the National Folklore Archive's Schools' Collection, and this book contains a selection of its best stories. With chapters on ghost stories, agriculture, forgotten trades, schooling and pastimes, this is a people's history of Ireland.
    There are incredible stories of self-sufficiency from an era when everything on the table was homemade. Discover how people survived on flour, milk and potatoes, and how fabric, dye, soap and candles were made by hand. There are delightful memories of childhoods spent outdoors, gathering nuts and berries, playing Tig and fishing; while stories of folk remedies reveal how wellbeing in Ireland had long been a heady potion of miraculous medals, doctors, healers, holy wells and pilgrimages.
    With each chapter introduced and contextualised in John Creedon's inimitable voice, this beautiful treasury of tales is a stunning tribute to ordinary Irish people and how they lived long ago.
