MEDITATIONS First Philosophy is made up of six meditations，in
which Descartes First discards all belief in things which are not
absolutely certain， and then tries to establish what can be known
for sure. The meditations were written as if he were mcditating
for
6 days： each meditation refers to the last one as
"yesterday".
In Ethics， Spinoza attempts to demonstrate a "fully cohesive
philosophical system that strives to provide a coherent picture of
reality and to comprehend the meaning of an ethicallife." Although
it was published posthumously in 1677， it is his most famous work，
and is considered his magnum opus.

The first objection is that though， would the humor mind reflects
on itself， it does not perceive that it is any other than a
flunking thing， it does not follow that its nature or essence
consists only in its being a thing loch thinks; so that the word
ONLY shall exclude all other things which might also perhaps be
said to pertain to the nature of the mind. To this objection I
reply， that it was not my intention in that place to exclude these
according to the order of truth in the matter （of which I did not
then treat）， but only according to the order of thought
（perception）; so that my meaning was， that I clearly apprehended
nothing， so far as I was conscious， as belonging to my essence，
except that I was a thinking thing， or a thing possessing in itself
the faculty of thinking. But I will show hereafter how， from the
consciousness that nothing besides flunking belongs to the essence
of the nun， it follows that nothing else does in truth belong to
it.

The second objection is that it does not follow， from my
possessing the idea of a thing more perfect than I am， that the
idea itself is more perfect than myself， and much less that what is
represented by the idea exists. But I reply that in the term idea
there is here something equivocal; for it may be taken either
materially for an act of the understanding， and in this sense it
cannot be said to be more perfect than I， or objectively， for the
thing represented by that act， which， although it be not supposed
to exist out of my understanding， may， nevertheless， be more
perfect than myself， by reason of its essence. But， in the sequel
of this treatise I will show more amply how.
