Method of Scientific Research

René Descartes

 

 

René Descartes' Method of Scientific Research built much of the framework of the modern scientific method.

***

Descartes wrote that the basis of the Scientific Method came to him in dreams he had on November 10, 1619.

 

 

   

One of Descartes' main lines of thought is skepticism – everything should be doubted until it could be proved.

 

 

 

 

The four main ideas for scientific progress are:

① Never accept anything as true until all reasons for doubt can be ruled out.

② Divide problems into as many parts as possible and necessary to provide an adequate solution.

③ Thoughts should be ordered, starting with the simplest and easiest to know, ascending little by little, and, step by step, to more complex knowledge.

④ Make enumerations so complete, and reviews so general, that nothing is omitted.

If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.
