"Deus deceptor". On the concepts of Power, Transcendence and Rationality in Descartes’ Metaphysics
Keywords:
Power, Transcendence, Rationality, Intelligibility, Creation, Modernity.
Abstract
In this article, I try to determine the innovatory moment of Descartes´ Metaphysics, that is, the conceptual work that became the turning point in the most significant philosophical polemics in the subsequent period after the construction of Cartesian system. This turning point is the way Descartes thinks the concept of divine power, rather than the discovery of the cogito or its implications in re-shaping knowledge. Starting from this, Descartes will forge the concepts of transcendence and rationality, so essential in his works and all along the second half of XVIIth century.Downloads
