Descartes' Method presents an ontological interpretation of Descartes' method as a dynamic and, to a certain extent, differentiable problem-solving cognitive disposition or habitus. This disposition can be actualized or applied to different problems in various ways, depending on the nature of the problem.
In Parts I-II, the foundations of an habitual interpretation of Descartes' method are established, while Parts III-V showcase the outcomes of such an interpretation in metaphysics, natural philosophy, and mathematics. The first book to leverage the recently discovered Cambridge manuscript of Descartes' Rules for the Direction of the Mind, Descartes' Method provides a concrete demonstration of the effectiveness of Descartes' method in the sciences and the underlying unity of Descartes' method from Rules for the Direction of the Mind to Principles of Philosophy (1644).
This interpretation emphasizes the dynamic nature of Descartes' method, which allows for its application to different problems and contexts. It also highlights the interconnectedness of Descartes' method across various disciplines, demonstrating how it can be used to address metaphysical, philosophical, and mathematical questions.
By adopting an ontological perspective, Descartes' Method provides a deeper understanding of Descartes' approach to problem-solving and offers valuable insights into the nature of knowledge and understanding. It encourages scholars to explore the potential applications of Descartes' method in contemporary fields and to further refine and develop our understanding of this influential philosophical tradition.
