This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.  

This Core Concept video focuses on Rene Descartes' work The Discourse on Method, specifically on his discussion in part 2 of the work, where he sets out to reconstruct reliable foundations that will support his project of progressively developing genuine knowledge.
