This is a lecture video developed for my new online World Views and Values class with the ReasonIO Academy, which you can access here - [ Ссылка ]

The course was originally developed for students at Marist College. In this portion of the class, we are reading, examining, and discussing portions of Rene Descartes' work, The Discourse on Method

This video introduces students to that work and thinker, focusing particularly on the genre of the work, the cultural and historical context, and some of the key themes.

The course itself is intended to introduce students without a background in philosophy to some of the key texts, authors, perspectives, and concepts of the History of Ideas, with a particular focus upon human nature, culture and society, and the reality underlying and encompassing human beings and their experiences.

My videos are used by students, lifelong learners, other professors, and professionals to learn more about topics, texts, and thinkers in philosophy, religious studies, literature, social-political theory, critical thinking, and communications. These include college and university classes, British A-levels preparation, and Indian civil service (IAS) examination preparation
