Discourse on the Method is one of the central texts of philosophy and constitutes the core of the Cartesian system. Often considered the father of modern philosophy, Descartes, whose most well-known quote ?Cogito ergo sum" (I think therefore I am), comes from this text, discusses the foundation of knowledge, the existence of God, and the distinction between mind and body. His approach of using methodical doubt led to the rise of epistemology, one of the three main branches of philosophy.
