A proposito di questo titolo
 In Discourse on the Method, René Descartes presents a revolutionary approach to understanding the world, famously encapsulated in the phrase cogito ergo sum—I think, therefore I am. This foundational work not only laid the groundwork for modern natural sciences but also revived ancient skepticism, influencing thinkers from Sextus Empiricus onward. By starting with radical doubt, Descartes encourages us to strip away preconceived notions and view existence from a fresh perspective. Join us as we explore the profound implications of Descartes’ method and its enduring impact on philosophy and science.Copyright Early Modern Filosofia Scienza Scienze sociali

    Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting One’s Reason and of Seeking Truth-René Descartes
    Nov 7 2026
    Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting One’s Reason and of Seeking Truth by René Descartes.

    The Discourse on Method is best known as the source of the famous quotation “cogito ergo sum”, “I think, therefore I am.” …. It is a method which gives a solid platform from which all modern natural sciences could evolve. With this work, the idea of skepticism was revived from the ancients such as Sextus Empiricus and modified to account for a truth that Descartes found to be incontrovertible. Descartes started his line of reasoning by doubting everything, so as to assess the world from a fresh perspective, clear of any preconceived notions.
