No problem. Look into "Objections and Replies". I forget which number Gassendi's is. (After the Meditations were written, Descartes sent the mss. around to a number of philosophers and theologians. They wrote their criticisms and objections, and then, Descartes wrote replies to them.They are very good, and important for understanding Descartes. They are in print)
