Unlock the Foundations of Modern Thought with Discourse on the Method by René Descartes


René Descartes’ Discourse on the Method is more than just a philosophical treatise; it's the bedrock of modern rational thought. Famous for introducing the statement "Cogito, ergo sum" ("I think, therefore I am"), this seminal work has shaped the fields of philosophy and science. 


In it, Descartes breaks from centuries-old traditions to establish a new method based on doubt and reason. This accessible text is organized into six parts, where Descartes methodically questions everything to build a secure foundation for knowledge. From proving the existence of God to discussing the interplay between body and soul, Descartes invites readers to rethink their approach to knowledge and existence.


Ideal for thinkers, students, and anyone curious about the origins of modern philosophy, Discourse on the Method is a must-have. It not only challenges your perceptions but enhances your analytical skills, encouraging a deeper understanding of the world through rigorous, methodical inquiry.


Dive into this cornerstone of intellectual history with Descartes’ Discourse on the Method, and embark on a journey of understanding that promises to enlighten and transform your perspective on knowledge and existence.

René Descartes

René Descartes wird 1596 in der Touraine als Sohn eines Parlamentsrates geboren. Der Achtzehnjährige tritt 1604 ins jesuitische Collège Royal ein und erhält dort eine umfassende Ausbildung in Latein, Geschichte, Rhetorik, Philosophie, Physik und Mathematik. Von 1616 an reist Descartes im Dienste unterschiedlicher Feldherren quer durch Europa und nimmt an den ersten Feldzügen des Dreißigjährigen Krieges teil. Dabei ist er jedoch ständig auch mit naturwissenschaftlichen wie auch philosophischen Fragestellungen beschäftigt und nutzt die Gelegenheit, sich europaweit mit führenden Gelehrten auszutauschen. Die Emigration in die Niederlande 1628 ist auf die Auseinandersetzung mit Theologen Frankreichs zurückzuführen. Dort erscheint auch 1637 anonym die Discour de la méthode. Die Meditationes de prima philosophia (1641) entwickeln dann die im Discour nur angedeutete grundlegende Wissenschaft der Metaphysik, während die Principia Philosophiae die Zäsur setzen, die Descartes’ Rang als Begründer der Philosophie der Neuzeit geltend machen.1649 folgt Descartes einer Einladung seiner Briefpartnerin, der Königin Christina von Schweden, sie in der Philosophie zu unterrichten. Kaum angekommen, erliegt er jedoch dem rauhen Klima und stirbt 1650 an einer Lungenentzündung.
