About this audiobook
In "Discourse on the Method," René Descartes lays the foundation for modern philosophical inquiry and the quest for knowledge through scepticism and doubt. With meticulous reasoning, Descartes dismantles the edifice of accepted truths to build a new understanding of reality based on clear and distinct ideas. His famous declaration, "I think, therefore I am," encapsulates the essence of this transformative work. Descartes invites us on a profound journey to question, reason, and ultimately seek the truth about our existence. Read in English, unabridged.
René Descartes
René Descartes, known as the Father of Modern Philosophy and inventor of Cartesian coordinates, was a seventeenth century French philosopher, mathematician, and writer. Descartes made significant contributions to the fields of philosophy and mathematics, and was a proponent of rationalism, believing strongly in fact and deductive reasoning. Working in both French and Latin, he wrote many mathematical and philosophical works including The World, Discourse on a Method, Meditations on First Philosophy, and Passions of the Soul. He is perhaps best known for originating the statement “I think, therefore I am.”
