Sinopsis

A Discourse On The Method Of Rightly Conducting The Reason And Seeking Truth In The Sciences is a philosophical treatise written by the French philosopher and mathematician, Rene 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 lays out his method for finding truth in the sciences. The method involves breaking down complex problems into simpler parts and analyzing them systematically. He also emphasizes the importance of doubting everything that can be doubted, in order to arrive at certain knowledge.Descartes also discusses the relationship between the mind and the body, arguing that they are separate entities. He proposes that the mind is a non-physical substance that is capable of thinking and understanding, while the body is a physical substance that is subject to the laws of nature.The book is divided into six parts, each of which builds upon the previous one. The first part introduces the method and explains why it is necessary. The second part discusses the nature of human knowledge and the limitations of the senses. The third part applies the method to mathematics and geometry. The fourth part applies the method to the natural sciences. The fifth part discusses the existence of God and the immortality of the soul. The final part provides a summary of the main ideas presented in the book.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 continues to be studied and debated by scholars today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
