Translation of Regulae ad directionem ingenii.

"A Liberal Arts press book."

"The translator has supplied the division of the 'Rules' into books, and has funished titles for Books Two and Three, by following Descartes' indication of his planning in Rules VIII and XII. According to the translator's arrangement there are twenty-four rules; Rules XIX through XXI exist only as titles in Descartes' manuscripts; XXII, XXIII,and XXIV do not have titles. The title for Book Three, which was to have contained twelve rules, XXV through XXXVI, is furnished by the translator."--A Note on the Text.
