Description

The Discourse on the Method for Reasoning Well and for Seeking Truth in the Sciences offers a concise presentation and defense of Ren Descartess method of intellectual inquiry - a method that greatly influenced both philosophical and scientific reasoning in the early modern world. Descartess timeless writing strikes an uncommon balance of novelty and familiarity, offering arguments concerning knowledge, science, and metaphysics (including the famous I think, therefore I am) that are as compelling in the twenty-first century as they were in the seventeenth. Ian Johnstons new translation of the original French text is modern, clear, and thoroughly annotated, ideal for readers unfamiliar with Descartess intellectual context. An approachable introduction engages both the historical and the philosophical aspects of the text, helping the reader to understand the concepts and arguments contained therein.
