Synopsis

Written by the father of modern philosophy, Discourse on Method is a seminal work that outlines Descartes' method of intellectual inquiry.

Discourse on Method includes Descartes' most famous and quotable statement: "I think; therefore, I am." This book is must reading for all who wish to have a solid grounding in philosophy and the development of Western thought. The full title of his work is Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting One's Reason and of Seeking Truth in the Sciences.

About the Author

Rene Descartes (1596 - 1650) was a renowned mathematician, scientist, and philosopher born in La Haye, France. He believed that all natural phenomenon, matter, and motion can be defined through mathematics. La Geometrie (1637) is his most famous work of mathematics. Descartes is sometimes regarded as the founder of modern philosophy and one of the first to investigate the mind - body relationship. He later introduced a famous Latin phrase, Cogito Ergo Sum (I think, therefore I am).
