Decartes believe that the principal of maintaining a good health is base on medicine. He believe that not even professionals know everything about medicines. Certain people might spend their entire life researching and still would come to the end of their finding.

I once had to have certain writings published could imagine the reasons for which i am abstaining from doing so were more to my disadvantag than they are. For although i do not love glory excessively , if i dare say so, i hate it, in as much as i judge it to be contrary to the tranquility i esteem above all the things...still have i also never tried to hide my actions as if they were crimes, nor have taken many precautions so as not to known.(p. 42 line 72)I believe this means that the writer could write so many things that will make him succeed but yet he does not like the glory , but he has also never tried to be someone else , or tried to hide its actions, or that he never tried to becareful on the things that he is doing.

for it is truly to engage in battle when one tries to overcome all the difficulties and errors that prevent us from arriving at the knowledge of the truth, and it is truly to lose a battle when one accepts a false opinion touching on a matter that is at all general and important.i think that descartes is trying to say that it is hard to come to the truth and that if you want the truth you have to really search for it. Even though the truth is hard to find you cant just accept a false truth.

Hey Liz, beyond what you've found in the text, I think Descartes' main reason for not having the books published was for fear of opposition and because it would distract him from his work. Having to prove his views to people through demonstrations all the time, would leave him with far less time to advance his knowledge and hence less results from his method. Descartes was really trying to squeeze every last second out of life that he could and spend it finding truth.
