By reading this summary, you will discover the method to be used to advance in the search for truth.


You will also discover :


  • the tremendous power of human reason;
  • why if "I" think, I necessarily exist;
  • the demonstration of the existence of God and the soul;
  • that science is based on a metaphysical certainty;
  • what role technology must play in progress.

  • In order to emerge from uncertainty, from the debate of opinions and to access the truth, we must give the human spirit its place in knowledge. To do this, you must reject your prejudices and what your education has taught you. By reforming your mind and building a solid foundation, you allow knowledge to rise to the highest degree of certainty. Yet this renewal is not just any old way: it requires method, order and the use of your reason. This is what Descartes explains in the Discourse of the Method. This text, published in 1637, is one of the founding works of modern philosophy where the famous formula "I think, therefore I am" is found. Are you ready to challenge all your certainties to access the truths?
