«Discurs del mètode» is the philosophical essay by René Descartes, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (224 pages, in Catalan).
Written in the first person, it is an autobiographical account of Descartes' thought that serves as an introduction to his scientific essays: the Dioptrics, the Meteors and the Geometry. It summarizes his method, his moral philosophy, his metaphysics and his vision of science, and explains the starting point that inaugurates modern philosophy.
Catalan translation by Pere Lluís Font. The work originally appeared in French in 1637 as «Discours de la Méthode»; this Catalan edition was published in 2002.
Recommended for students and readers interested in philosophy, classics of thought and the history of science.
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.
