“It is not enough to have a good mind; the main thing is to use it well.”

– René Descartes

René Descartes was a 17^th-century French philosopher whose theories and discoveries spawned an influx of commentary and responsive writings from western philosophers. Following the success of ‘Principia Philosophiae’, Descartes began corresponding with Elizabeth of Bohemia. These letters included studies in moral philosophy, physics, geometry, mechanics, and many other scientific topics. These letters were published in three distinct parts, as here in this 1714 Amsterdam edition – ‘Epistolae’.
