5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing read, February 13, 2011
By 
Karolina (Simsbury, CT United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Meditations on First Philosophy (Paperback)
I read this for a Phil 2222 course and all I have to say is WOW. Granted, I did have to take my time reading to make sure I understood everything, but Descartes poses some of the most fascinating arguments - especially the one for the existence of God. A must-read for anyone who bothers to read later Philosophers.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy if published by ClassicBooksAmerica, December 28, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The one-star rating is for the third-rate publisher: ClassicBooksAmerica. This Amazon.com product page lists the publisher as CreateSpace, but the book image (and preview) shown is from ClassicBooksAmerica.

The text is riddled with typographical errors: a lot of spelling mistakes and the Yen/Yuan symbol, ¥, throughout the text (a type-setting blunder).

Caveat emptor/lector: DO NOT PURCHASE THIS EDITION.

1.0 out of 5 stars Crap., October 21, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This was a bootleged audio book that sounds like it was read by some dumb ass. It is in some kind of wierd file format so you can not put it on any mp3 devices. Super useless. There are tons of great audio book sources on amazon, but this is not one of them. do not buy from this seller.
