Discours De La Methode/Discourse on the Method by Ren Descartes

This edition of Descartes' classic of modern philosophy contains an improved version of the Adam and Tonnery text; a new English translation intended to be as literal as possible and as liberal as necessary; an interpretive essay; Descartes' correspondence; and an extensive bibliography.

René Descartes was a French philosopher, mathematician, and scientist. Dubbed the father of modern western philosophy, much of subsequent Western philosophy is a response to his writings, which are studied closely to this day.

George Heffernan is Professor of Philosophy at Merrimack College. He has received many awards from academic institutions and since 2009 has served the German Academic Exchange Service as Research Ambassador for North America.
