Description

The main problems of the Cartesian metaphysics being those of the human mind and of God, our chief concern here is to examine how the being of the human mind in its proper sense comes to be established in his "Meditations". We think we have made clear: (i) that his conception of methodical doubt which leads him to the discovery of <self>, is in fact, a voluntaristic one, and is essential to all his philosophical thinking: (ii) that the <veracitas Dei> is postulated in order to supply the human mind its ultimate ground, without which it could not be sure of anything else: (iii) that the so-called <Cartesian circle>, though unavoidable because of the very nature of his way of thinking, is not vicious.
