“DESCARTES’ DUALISM”: TOWARDS SYNOPTIC IMAGE OF MAN-IN-THE-WORLD

Summary/Abstract: The paper examines the dominant conception of “Descartes’ dualism” that is found in the “Ryle-Dennett tradition”. It is argued that a more meaningful alternative to this conception can be found in Sellars’ proposition to treat philosophy as a synthesis of two images of man-in-the-world – “manifest” and “scientific” image. The paper concludes that the “Ryle-Dennett tradition” misuses the argument “from history.” In fact, that argument may be reversed against this tradition itself. It also conclude\s that there is a sufficient textual basis for the interpretation of the Descartes’ philosophy outside the genre of “the history of an error”.
