Tradition, Metaphysic and Teology in Cartesian Work

Author(s): Csilla Antonie
Subject(s): Philosophy, Metaphysics
Published by: Erdélyi Múzeum-Egyesület
Keywords: Descartes; metaphysics;

Summary/Abstract: The beginning of modern philosophy is usually connected to René Descartes’ activity, and this is due to that uncommon emphasis on radically new beginning, that we find in Cartesian work. Even though, this idea of an absolutely new beginning may seem an illusion today, it is undoubtful that in Descartes’ philosophy there was basic change. In the first part, the author intends to make visible what this change regarding the structure of Cartesian system and the task of metaphysic consist of. In the second part, the author intends to analyze a problem that was under suspicion from the beginning: Descartes’ relationship with theology. This research in the end reinforces this opinion, that Descartes’ position regarding theology is ambivalent.
