Rational Thoughts on God, the Soul, and Evil
Cogitationum rationalium de deo, anima, et malo
First Translation
No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
Pierre Poiret's 'Cogitationes rationales de Deo, anima, et malo' (1677) is a significant early philosophical work that is frequently cited in English-language scholarship (e.g., by Jonathan Israel and in histories of Cartesianism), but no complete English translation has been published. While some of Poiret's later mystical works, such as 'L'Oeconomie Divine', were translated into English in the 18th century, this specific Latin treatise remains untranslated in full.

About This Book
philosophytheologymysticismchristian-mysticismmetaphysics
Step out of the 'thick mass' of materialist error and into the 'natural light' of pure spirit. Pierre Poiret’s masterwork bridges the gap between Cartesian logic and profound mysticism, challenging you to rediscover the soul not as a physical object, but as a non-spatial essence of pure thought.
