The Search for Truth by Natural Light[1] (La recherche de la vérité par la lumière naturelle) is an unfinished philosophical dialogue by René Descartes “set in the courtly culture of the ‘honnête homme’ and ‘curiosité’.”[2] It was written in French (presumably after the Meditations was completed[3]) but first published (Amsterdam, 1684) in Dutch translation in a collection of letters from Descartes by J.H. Glazemaker, and then in a Latin translation in the Opuscola posthuma, physica & mathematica (Amsterdam, 1701). The original French was lost around 1700 but a partial copy was discovered in G.W. Leibniz's papers in Hanover in 1908 and published in the Adam-Tannery edition of Descartes's works and correspondence (vol. X, pp. 495-532).[2][4][5] A definitive edition, containing the partial French text plus the fuller Dutch and Latin translations on facing pages was published in 2002.[2][a] The opening passage (translated by Norman Kemp Smith to English in 1957) "is a helpful commentary on the argument of Articles 74-78" of The Passions of the Soul.[3]
