Book Reviews of Descartes: Discourse On Method
Book Review: A philosophical treasure
Summary: 5 Stars
A landmark in the history of philosophy and a founding text for modern scientific method, by which is meant cautious scepticism, disinterested enquiry, taking absolutely nothing on trust, but instead subjecting everything to the searching knife of criticism. This is a key text, if you wish to learn to be self-reliant and to develop the powers of your individual mind. Astonishing -- an enduring contribution of a man who was, and is most likely to remain, the greatest thinker in history.
