| Summary | "Introduction à la méthode de Léonard de Vinci" by Paul Valéry is an intellectual treatise written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the methodology and thought processes of the Renaissance genius Leonardo da Vinci, exploring themes of artistic creation, knowledge, and human understanding. Valéry reflects on the complexities of understanding Leonardo's multifaceted intellectual contributions while aiming to present a cohesive perspective on his artistic and scientific pursuits. The opening of the text establishes Valéry's ambitious intent to conceptualize the character of Leonardo da Vinci as a model of human intellect and creativity. He grapples with the challenge of capturing Leonardo's essence while recognizing his own limitations and biases. Valéry discusses the fluid nature of ideas, the interplay between knowledge and artistic expression, and the importance of rigorous thought. Through thoughtful analysis and introspection, he lays the groundwork for a deeper examination of Leonardo's work, illuminating the universal qualities of the human experience in the pursuit of knowledge and artistic mastery.
