On René Descartes's Rules for Direction of the Mind (1628): Mark Linsenmayer hosts Episode 223 at The Pariially Examined Life, A Philosophy Podcast and Philosophy Blog.
"This early, incomplete work lays out 21 rules for careful thinking (out of a planned 36) with extensive commentary on how to apply them. It is extremely helpful in figuring out where Descartes is coming from in the Meditations, and it lays out the foundations for both analytic philosophy and the emphasis on quantitative analysis in modern science."
