Discourse, exclusion and madness in Descartes
Abstract
This article tries to highlight, taking the Foucault-Derrida polemic as a common thread, the tensions that run through the process of doubt in Descartes. In these tensions (between a deductive and a demonstrative order, as well as between a rational understanding and a reasonable will) there is an element that transits from madness to divinity; This element operates as a rest that, time and time again, reappears to threaten any attempt of foundation.
