Descartes: Discourse on Method

Richard Kennington

Role: Translator

Kennington’s published work was primarily historical and hermeneutic – though always with a clear philosophical motivation – and dealt almost exclusively with the seventeenth century.

This is an English translation of Descartes’ seminal discourse, with an original essay by Richard Kennington. This text is designed to provide the student with a close translation, notes, and a glossary of key terms, facilitating access to ideas as they originally were presented and helping to make the translator’s work transparent.
