René Descartes, considered the father of modern philosophy, addresses in these writings the central questions about the self, God, free will, and knowledge. Against wisdom based on faith, he proposes a science of thought founded on reason. The volume also includes his famous essay «Discurso del método».

For philosophy students and general readers interested in modern thought and the work of 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.
