Zagadnienie pochodzenia idei Boga w ujęciach Kartezjusza i J. L. Wolzogena
The issue of the origin of the concept of God: The Views of Descartes and Wolzogen Summary

Summary/Abstract: My paper concerns René Descartes’s conception of innate idea of God and Johann Ludwig von Wolzogen’s critique of Descartes’s view. I gave a detailed analysis of the content of Meditations on First Philosophy by René Descartes and the content of Obiections to Descartes’ Meditations by Wolzogen, and on that basis, I reconstructed Descartes and Wolzogen’s views. It was also necessary to show the historical context of both philosophers’ ideas. Descartes argued that the idea of a perfect and infinite being was placed in mind by God. Wolzogen wanted to show that Descartes didn’t prove the idea of innate God. He believed that all ideas derive from sense experience and the mind generates idea of God. My main purpose was to show that Wolzogen accepted Thomistic’s view in which the human mind has imperfect concept of God.
