«Discours de la méthode» is the essay by René Descartes and Laurence Renault, published by Flammarion in paperback (189 pages, in French).
Descartes narrates his intellectual journey and proposes a method of four rules to guide reason. Starting from methodical doubt, he arrives at «pienso, luego soy» as the first principle on which to found knowledge. Written in French in 1637, the work departs from scholasticism and defends a new science based on reason.
2000 edition with complete text and introduction, notes, dossier, chronology and bibliography by Laurence Renault.
Suitable for philosophy students and readers interested in Cartesian thought and the origins of modern rationalism.
René Descartes was a French philosopher, scientist, logician, and mathematician, widely considered a seminal figure in the emergence of modern philosophy and science during the Renaissance era. Mathematics was paramount to his method of inquiry, and he connected the previously separate fields of geometry and algebra into analytic geometry.
