Sinopsis

A Discourse On The Method Of Rightly Conducting The Reason And Seeking Truth In The Sciences is a philosophical treatise written by the famous French philosopher and mathematician Ren����� Descartes. The book was first published in 1637 and is considered one of the most important works in the history of philosophy.In the book, Descartes sets out to establish a method of reasoning that is based on logical deduction and empirical observation. He argues that the only way to arrive at true knowledge is to doubt everything that one has previously believed and to start from a position of absolute skepticism. Descartes then goes on to outline his famous method of doubt, which involves systematically questioning all of one's beliefs until one arrives at a set of fundamental truths that cannot be doubted.The book is divided into six parts, each of which deals with a different aspect of Descartes' method. In the first part, he outlines his method of doubt and explains why it is necessary for arriving at true knowledge. In the second part, he discusses the nature of the human mind and how it can be understood through introspection. The third part deals with the nature of knowledge itself and how it can be acquired through reason and experience.In the fourth part, Descartes applies his method to the study of mathematics and argues that mathematical truths are certain and indubitable. The fifth part deals with the nature of physical reality and how it can be understood through the application of mathematical principles. Finally, in the sixth part, Descartes discusses the role of God in his system of thought and argues that the existence of God can be proven through reason alone.Overall, A Discourse On The Method Of Rightly Conducting The Reason And Seeking Truth In The Sciences is a seminal work in the history of philosophy and is still widely read and studied today. It is a testament to Descartes' genius and his enduring influence on Western thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
