Order and Variety of Creation. An Approach to the Cartesian Theory of Substance
Keywords:
Descartes, Substance, Free will, Analogy, Creationism, Freedom.
Abstract
In this article, the author tries, on one hand, to examine the Cartesian reflection about the concept of substance, underlining its very problematic points (those about which the postcartesian philosophy of the second half of XVIIth century will be obliged to take a position), and, on the other, to analyze how the theory Descartes constructs starting from this concept, shows clearly the fundamental principles on which he constructs the whole of his Metaphysics. This principles are no others than divin creationism and the logics it necessarily implies: analogy and equivocism.Downloads
