( I cannot say whether i have been successful in this , and i do not at all want to prejudice the judgements of anyone in speaking for myself about my writings ; but i shall be very happy if they are examined, and, in order to have more of an apportunity to do this, i am imploring all who have any objections to make against them to take the trouble to send them to my publisher and be advised about them by him)
He also says that he will reply back , because readers will judge the truth all the more easily. What does he mean with this? Is he trying to tell us that he does not want criticism but honesty to him? I know as a reader we look at it in different perspectives. In these sentence i guess his fair enought to say that sometimes what he rights does not make any sense. I have a question doesnt a judgements means honesty?. Sometimes people judges us for our own good and than we become better. I am probably wrong and confused again.

I think Decarte is just saying that he is open to judgement or critism of anyone who has a different opinion as him. Through out the whole book, he's been saying that diff people have diff thoughts and translation. Now he just want to tell us that he's open to new opinion or judgement on his thoughts!
Decartes i guess tries his best to understand criticism, but he does not like it. Ally but he is not saying his open to judgement or criticism. I dont think he likes criticism very much. who does? i know i dont like it, even when i know they are right.
how can he be a writer and not be able to accept criticism he should know it goes hand in hand with writing or publishing his work. i think that, thats the reason why he did not have enough time to publish all his work. as he mention in some of the other parts.
