Meditations on First Philosophy - A Philosophical Treatise in Which the Existence of God and the Immortality of the Soul Are Demonstrated

René Descartes

Sinopse

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.

Embracing (Rather Than Fixing)...

JD David Bedrick

We are a society of armchair psychologists, who are constantly self-diagnosing. There are scores of books and television programs that suggest ways for us to reprogram and rid ourselves of disturbing feelings and behavior patterns. Bedrick is deepening the dialogue about the role and practice of psychology in today’s society. Much of mainstream or “pop” psychology give us plenty of labels, but does it go deep enough to motivate us to truly change destructive patterns? David Bedrick gives us a new vision of psychology where people are seen not as either functional or dysfunctional. It’s a psychology where awareness and dialogue are more important than labels. 
Mainstream psychology often misses the range of diversity in people and tries to “normalize” them into a sea of sameness. In Process Oriented Psychology, for example, there are no 7 steps to a cure. This branch of psychology acknowledges that everyone is different. Bedrick is an awareness follower and says, “I’m using my awareness in watching all the communication a person gives me, much of which is not verbal.” He follows what they are showing him until the client reveals their own cure or medicine. He gives many exciting examples in this dynamic dialogue. (hosted by Justine Willis Toms)
