The treatise explores skepticism and the quest for truth, marking a pivotal moment in modern philosophy. René Descartes begins by doubting all beliefs to establish a foundation for knowledge, leading to the iconic declaration "I think, therefore I am." Published in 1637, it served as an introduction to Descartes' later works on optics, meteorology, and geometry, contributing significantly to the development of the natural sciences and laying groundwork for the Cartesian coordinate system. Its influence extends throughout philosophical discourse.
