«A Discourse on Method» is a collection of philosophical essays by René Descartes, published by Phoenix in paperback (240 pages, in English).
The volume brings together three works by Descartes: «Discurso del método», «Meditaciones sobre la filosofía primera» and «Principios de filosofía». The philosopher proposes doubting everything received in order to build knowledge on reason, separates thinking substance from the body, and argues that God guarantees the reliability of the senses.
Edition from the Everyman collection with translation by John Veitch, introduction, author chronology, summaries and annotated bibliography.
Reference work for philosophy students and readers interested in the origins 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.
