Descartes in his book writes about four rules, for better understanding, if what being said is true, or can be true:<ol><li>Never accept nothing, until you will find out if this can be true. So it means, never make fast decisions, regarding what's being said.</li><li>Every hard analysed thing should be split up in many parts, for better understanding.</li><li>Follow some kind of thinking order, starting with the easiest and step by step going for harder things.</li><li>Always do calculating about detailed reviews, to be sure, that nothing is missed.</li></ol>

How To Decide If What Being Said Is True

Discours de la méthode is a philosophical and autobiographical treatise published by René Descartes in 1637.It is one of the most influential works in the history of modern philosophy, and important to the evolution of natural sciences. In this work, Descartes tackles the problem of skepticism and modifies it to account for a truth he found to be incontrovertible. It is best known as the source of the famous quotation "Je pense, donc je suis" ("I think, therefore I am"), which occurs in Part IV of the work.Here Descartes' original French text is reproduced alongside the English translation.
