Synopsis

In "Discourse on the Method," René Descartes lays the foundation for modern philosophical inquiry and the quest for knowledge through scepticism and doubt. With meticulous reasoning, Descartes dismantles the edifice of accepted truths to build a new understanding of reality based on clear and distinct ideas. His famous declaration, "I think, therefore I am," encapsulates the essence of this transformative work. Descartes invites us on a profound journey to question, reason, and ultimately seek the truth about our existence. Read in English, unabridged.
