«Discurso do Método» is the philosophical essay by René Descartes, published by Edições 70 in paperback (106 pages, in Brazilian Portuguese).
A foundational work of modern rationalism, the Discourse on the Method starts from radical doubt to establish the rules that should guide human reason: reject what is not evident, divide problems, go from the simple to the complex, and review to omit nothing. Descartes thus presents the bases of his philosophy and of scientific knowledge.
This edition includes introduction and notes by Étienne Gilson and translation by João Gama, in the Textos Filosóficos collection. The original text dates from 1637.
Annotated edition intended for philosophy students and for those approaching the classics of modern thought with critical support.
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.
