Riassunto

~ Collector's Edition ~ Laminated Hardback with Jacket ~

In this profound philosophical work, a thinker embarks on a journey to uncover the foundations of knowledge, questioning everything he once believed to be true. Through a method of radical doubt, he dismantles assumptions and rebuilds his understanding based on reason and certainty. As he explores the nature of existence, the relationship between the mind and body, and the concept of a perfect being, he crafts a framework that will shape the course of modern philosophy. With clarity and precision, the text challenges readers to examine their own beliefs and the very nature of reality itself.

Discourse on Method & Meditations on First Philosophy is a groundbreaking work that laid the foundation for modern philosophy and rational thought, reshaping the way knowledge, science, and existence are understood. By introducing radical doubt and the search for absolute certainty, it challenged medieval scholasticism and inspired generations of thinkers. Its exploration of the mind-body relationship and the nature of reality influenced fields from metaphysics to psychology. With its bold ideas and clear reasoning, the text remains a cornerstone of Western intellectual history.

Informazioni sull?autore

Ren� Descartes, born on March 31, 1596, in La Haye en Touraine, France, was a French philosopher, mathematician, and scientist. He is often regarded as the father of modern philosophy due to his influential works that departed from traditional scholasticism. Descartes' approach emphasized reason and individual thought, laying the groundwork for the Enlightenment.In 1637, Descartes published Discourse on the Method, introducing his famous dictum, "I think, therefore I am" (Cogito, ergo sum). This work outlined his method of systematic doubt and is considered a foundational text in Western philosophy. His contributions to mathematics include the development of Cartesian geometry, which bridged algebra and geometry.Descartes spent much of his later life in the Dutch Republic, engaging with prominent intellectuals of the time. In 1641, he released Meditations on First Philosophy, further exploring metaphysics and the nature of existence. Descartes passed away on February 11, 1650, in Stockholm, Sweden, leaving a lasting legacy in both philosophy and science.
