Abstract
In 1637, Rene Descartes published one of the great books of intellectual history—Discourse on Methods. This book attempted to lay the foundation for the philosophical tradition known as rationalism. It contained epistemological rules for arriving at "certain" truth. Descartes asserted that truth is derived from two mental operations: intuition and deduction. Upon these indubitable rocks would be built an edifice of knowledge enduring forever.
