<p><strong>A Discourse on Method</strong>, whose full title is "Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting One's Reason and of Seeking Truth in the Sciences", is the major work written by René Descartes and a fundamental work of Western philosophy with implications for the development of philosophy and science.</p> <p>It was published anonymously in Leiden (Holland) in 1637. It was, in fact, the prologue to three essays: Dioptrique, Météores and Géométrie; grouped under the joint title of Philosophical Essays.</p> <p>Descartes titled this work Discourse on Method for a precise purpose. In a letter he wrote to Marin Mersenne, he explains that he titled it Discourse and not Treatise to show that he did not intend to teach, but only to speak.</p>
