Additional quotes by René Descartes

اراده یا آزادی انتخاب که شخصاً در مورد خودم تجربه کردم آنقدر گسترده است که تصور وجود یک توانایی از آن گسترده تر از قدرت درک من خارج است

El cartesiano Espinosa pudo conseguir exponer la filosofía de Descartes en una serie geométrica de axiomas, definiciones y teoremas (Renati Descartes Principiorum philosophiæ pars. I et II, more geometrico demonstratæ.)

Dolayısıyla insan aklının herhangi bir sınırlamaya ihtiyacı yoktur. Bir doğrunun bilinmesi, bir sanatı edinmenin bir diğerini edinmeyi engellemesi gibi değildir; başka bir doğrunun bilinmesine engel olmasının aksine bu konuda bize yardımcı bile olur.
