«Discours de la méthode» is the philosophical essay by René Descartes, published by Mille et une nuits in paperback (87 pages, in French).
In this foundational work of modern philosophy, René Descartes sets out a new path for directing reason well and seeking truth in the sciences. Against inherited knowledge, he proposes subjecting it to methodical doubt and trusting reason as a universal instrument, capable of grounding knowledge and making the human being «master and possessor of nature».
This French edition from 2000 belongs to the La Petite Collection series; the work was originally published in 1637.
Of interest to philosophy students and those wishing 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.
