Description

Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting One's Reason and of Seeking Truth in the Sciences (French: Discours de la Methode Pour bien conduire sa raison, et chercher la verite dans les sciences) is a philosophical and autobiographical treatise by Rene Descartes. Discourse on the Method is one of the most influential works in the history of modern philosophy, and important to the development of natural sciences.

In this work, Descartes tackles the problem of skepticism, which had previously been studied by other philosophers.

While addressing some of his predecessors and contemporaries, Descartes modified their approach to account for a truth he found to be incontrovertible; he started his line of reasoning by doubting everything, so as to assess the world from a fresh perspective, clear of any preconceived notions. Together with Meditations on First Philosophy, Principles of Philosophy and Rules for the Direction of the Mind, it forms the base of the epistemology known as Cartesianism.
