«Discours de la méthode» is the philosophical essay by René Descartes, published by J'ai lu in paperback (96 pages, in French).
Descartes subjects received knowledge to methodical doubt: he takes nothing as certain that does not present itself clearly to the mind, and seeks a first truth to serve as the foundation of science. From this arises his famous «pienso, luego existo», a starting point for examining the existence of God, the soul, and certain knowledge.
Work originally published in 1637; this 2001 edition in French presents the complete text.
For philosophy students and readers who want to approach the classics of modern thought.
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.
