The Discourse on the Method is a philosophical and autobiographical treatise
published by René Descartes in 1637. It is best known for the famous quotation
"Je pense, donc je suis" ("I think, therefore I am"). The book is divided into
six parts, and in it, Descartes tackles the problem of skepticism by doubting
everything to assess the world from a fresh perspective. He presents four
precepts for arriving at knowledge, including never accepting anything for
true that is not clearly known to be such. Descartes also discusses morals and
maxims for conducting the method, including obeying the laws and customs of
one's country. In Part IV, he provides three different proofs for the
existence of God and the soul. The method of profound skepticism is considered
to be the start of modern philosophy. Descartes' work influenced future
science and is important to the development of natural sciences.
