«Discurso del método» is the philosophical essay by René Descartes, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (200 pages, in Spanish).
A capital work of modern thought: Descartes sets out his project to reform knowledge, based on subjecting beliefs to methodical doubt and building knowledge on reason. The discourse addresses the existence of God, the soul, the body, and their distinction.
This 2004 edition, translated by Risieri Frondizi, includes his preliminary study and a set of notes. The work was originally published in French as «Discours de la Méthode» in 1637.
Suitable for philosophy students and for those wishing to discover an essential work 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.
