Descartes’s theory of free will and inference to the best explanation
Experientia and Conscientia: Two Ambiguous Concepts in Descartes's Metaphysics
Descartes uses two ambiguous concepts—experientia (experience) and conscientia (consciousness/conscience)—on which he relies in the arguments that form the basis of his metaphysics, such as the cogito argument and the theory of the free will. It appears, however, that he used experientia and conscientia in a way that was unknown at the time, as shown by the French translations of the Meditations on First Philosophy and the Principles of Philosoph…

I first compare st…
Bringing an end to the interpretative dispute on Descartes’s cogito: The cogito as vérité, cognitio, propositio, and conclusio
The aim of this paper is to bring an end to the interpretative dispute on Descartes’s cogito: is the cogito known by intuition or by inference? There have been several studies based on both analytical and historical approaches to the dispute, and it seems that we have exhausted all interpretations. Nevertheless, I wish to revisit this dispute, as it appears that the previous studies have overlooked Descartes’s use of words and phrases, which is t…
