A classic work of modern philosophy, "Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting the Reason and Seeking for Truth in the Sciences," is renowned for being one of the first to apply the scientific method to the field. Descartes handles scepticism in philosophy by eradicating any preconceived ideas about reality and constructing from a foundation of truths he found to be indisputable. His later book, "Meditations on First Philosophy," builds on his earlier work by employing his methodology to a philosophical analysis of God's existence and the soul's immortality. Descartes' work has been criticised for the philosophical conclusions it draws, yet his great effect ultimately stems from his insistence on questioning

René Descartes was a central figure in the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century. In his Discourse on Method he outlined the contrast between mathematics and experimental sciences, and the extent to which each one can achieve certainty. Drawing on his own work in geometry, optics, astronomy and physiology, Descartes developed the hypothetical method that characterizes modern science, and this soon came to replace the traditional techniques derived from Aristotle. Many of Descartes' most radical ideas - such as the disparity between our perceptions and the realities that cause them - have been highly influential in the development of modern philosophy.

Descartes' ideas not only changed the course of Western philosophy but also led to or transformed the fields of metaphysics, epistemology, physics and mathematics, political theory and ethics, psychoanalysis, and literature and the arts. This book reprints Descartes' major works, Discourse on Method and Meditations, and presents essays by leading scholars that explore his contributions in each of those fields and place his ideas in the context of his time and our own. There are chapters by David Weissman on metaphysics and psychoanalysis, John Post on epistemology, Lou Massa on physics and mathematics, William T. Bluhm on politics and ethics, and Thomas Pavel on literature and art. These essays are accompanied by others by David Weissman and by Stephen Toulmin that introduce the idea of intellectual lineages, discuss the period in which Descartes wrote, and reexamine the premises of his philosophy in light of contemporary philosophical, political, and social thinking.
