Cartesian doubt (René Descartes)
Rene Descartes (1596-1650) is known as the father of modern philosophy and algebraic geometry.
Rene Descartes' most widely read work is his Discourse on Method (in French, Discours de la methode), published in 1637. There Descartes sets forth four rules for discovering knowledge:
- (1) accept as true only what can be proven
- (2) solve problems in a systematic manner, part-by-part
- (3) proceed from simple to more complex issues
- (4) finally, review everything completely to ensure that nothing was left out
Descartes established a metaphysical basis for his philosophy, that all philosophical propositions derive from a self-evident certainty of the mind, as in "I think therefore I am."
