«El Discurso del Método» is the philosophical essay by René Descartes, published by Plutón Ediciones in paperback (128 pages, in Spanish).
Descartes sets out his project to renew philosophy from secure foundations. Through methodical doubt he questions received knowledge and finds in the cogito ('I think, therefore I am') a first certainty, from which he deduces the existence of God and the distinction between soul and body. The work includes rules for guiding reason and autobiographical notes.
This edition belongs to the Eterna Collection of Plutón Ediciones; the original text was published in French.
A work commonly read in philosophy studies and for those who wish to approach the classics of European 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.
