«Discurso del Método / Meditaciones metafísicas» is the philosophy volume by René Descartes, published by Austral in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together two fundamental works by Descartes. In «Discurso del Método» he proposes methodical doubt as a starting point for achieving certain knowledge and presents his famous reasoning «pienso, luego existo». The «Meditaciones metafísicas» delve into the existence of the self, the distinction between mind and body, the demonstration of God's existence and the foundations of human knowledge, with the aim of establishing a solid basis for science and philosophy.
Edition and translation by Manuel García Morente. Clásica collection, number 166. Originally published in 1637 and 1641.
Recommended for readers who want to approach the foundational texts of modern rationalism and Western philosophy.
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.
