I want to excuse myself beforehand if this is an inappropriate question on this forum. I'm just starting studying and I need literature for my little paperwork in a philosophy seminar. The main line of the topic is "clear and distinct ideas in Descartes philosophy" I thought that maybe "Meditations on first philosophy" is go to primary source , but I don't know any secondary literature. Can somebody maybe recommend primary and secondary literature. If this isn't the forum to ask about this , could somebody maybe tell me what is ? Thanks !

SEP and IEP are the standard goto places for philosophy material.

Britannica can also be good.

Wikipedia is of course there for starters but spotty and not always reliable
