About: René Descartes (31 March 1596 – 11 February 1650) was a French philosopher, mathematician and writer who spent most of his life in the Dutch Republic. He has been dubbed the father of modern philosophy, and much subsequent Western philosophy is a response to his writings, which are studied closely to this day. In particular, his Meditations on First Philosophy continues to be a standard text at most university philosophy departments. Descartes' influence in mathematics is equally apparent; the Cartesian coordinate system — allowing reference to a point in space as a set of numbers, and allowing algebraic equations to be expressed as geometric shapes in a two-dimensional coordinate system (and conversely, shapes to be described as equations) — was named after him. He is credited as the father of analytical geometry, the bridge between algebra and geometry, crucial to the discovery of infinitesimal calculus and analysis. Descartes was also one of the key figures in the scientific revolution and has been described as an example of genius. He refused to accept the authority of previous philosophers and also refused to accept the obviousness of his own senses.

    The Easton Press, signed, limited, numbered, Deluxe Slipcased edition of Fahrenheit 451 is as pictured & described. Arrived quickly & safely. Cased book put in plastic bag, wrapped in bubble wrap, nestled in packing peanuts, placed in a sturdy box, then placed in another sturdy box w/more packing peanuts. Fort Knox in a Double Box! Good thing too. USPS gave it a beating, but the book arrived intact! Thrilled to add to my growing Fahrenheit 451 collection! Thanks you! !Seller Highly Recommended!!

    Order was well packed and seller was extremely helpful. Had to be out of town and seller was kind enough to hold off on mailing so the books wouldn’t be left on our porch. Thankfully the seller was so easy to work with because we had a horrible thunderstorm with 70-80 mph winds and the books would have been left on the porch and damaged for sure. Will definitely be purchasing from seller again!
