Meditations on First Philosophy (subtitled In which the existence of God and the immortality of the soul are demonstrated) is a philosophical treatise by René Descartes which was first published in 1641 (in Latin). The original Latin title is Meditationes de prima philosophia, in qua Dei existentia et animæ immortalitas demonstratur.The work is comprised of six meditations, within which Descartes first discards all belief in things that are not absolutely certain, and then tries to establish what can be known for sure. He wrote the meditations as if he had meditated for six days: each meditation refers to the last one as "yesterday". It is one of the most influential philosophical texts ever written, it is widely read to this day.
