«Discurso del método» is the philosophical essay by René Descartes, published by Altaya in hardcover (104 pages, in Spanish).
In this work of modern thought, Descartes sets out his project to reform knowledge based on methodical doubt: distrusting what has been learned in order to find secure foundations. From that doubt arises the certainty of «pienso, luego existo», the criterion of clear and distinct ideas, and the defense of reason as a path to truth.
The work was originally published in 1637 as «Discours de la Méthode». This edition is number 14 of the Grandes Obras del Pensamiento collection by Altaya.
It is aimed at readers of modern philosophy and classics of thought, as well as students approaching Descartes.
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.
