«Discurso del método» is the philosophical essay by René Descartes, published by Alianza / Club Internacional del Libro in paperback (172 pages, in Spanish).
In this essay, Descartes sets out the need to subject all inherited knowledge to doubt in order to found knowledge on reason. The proposed method combines evidence, analysis, synthesis and verification, and leads to the certainty of «pienso, luego existo», from which he builds a philosophy that influences modern science.
Volume 87 of the Biblioteca Fundamental de Nuestro Tiempo collection, Classics section. Translation, preliminary study and notes by Risieri Frondizi.
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.
