Notes

The texts are given in their original language, Latin or French. Spellings and scientific symbols have been modernized and, in conformity with current Cartesian scholarship, the page and volume numbers of the standard Adam et Tannery edition (AT) are referenced throughout (Œuvres de Descartes / publiées par Charles Adam et Paul Tannery. Paris: J. Vrin, 1965-1974).



Let me tell you that the members of our faculty are very satisfied of the performances of the 4 databases previously bought [Descartes: Fichte; Hegel; Nietzsche.] I hope we will be able to order soon other similar resources.
