ABSTRACT
In a period of mutation, it is proper to find the least false words possible, to find the essential words that can become founding words, that is to say, words describing that which happens. The new Discours de la méthode, returning to the essential nature of things, is a yes all the same to what is. Marking the return to the natural, to the “limit,” to the finite, it is attuned to the world of today.
