  • The Intersections of Knowledge

    Roger AriewARTICLEHobbes Studies2023

    Gregorio Baldin’s book, La croisée des savoirs , concerns the intellectual relations among Hobbes, Mersenne, and Descartes. The study is limited to the time between 1634 and 1648, starting when Hobbes first met Mersenne in Paris and ending when Mersenne died. It covers three main topics. Part i is devoted to the relations maintained by Hobbes with the circle of Mersenne during 1634–1636, which Baldin thinks are essential for the development of Ho…

  • A Metaphysical Element in Descartes and the First Cartesians

    Roger AriewARTICLEThe European Legacy2022References: 3

    Descartes’ physics is dependent on his metaphysics, which is to say, on knowledge of the nature of God and of the human soul. This is clear throughout Descartes’ work, but it is especially so in the Principles of Philosophy, where Descartes devotes the first part of the treatise to the Principles of Human Knowledge, including God, the soul, and such common notions as substance (that is, the elements of metaphysics he initially discussed in Discou…

  • Descartes and the First Cartesians

    Roger AriewBOOKDescartes and the First Cartesians2015

    This book adopts the perspective that we should not approach Rene Descartes as a solitary thinker, but as a philosopher who constructs a dialogue with his contemporaries, so as to engage them and elements of his society into his philosophical enterprise. Roger Ariew argues that an important aspect of this engagement concerns the endeavor to establish Cartesian philosophy in the Schools, that is, to replace Aristotle as the authority there. Descar…

  • La Logique de Port-Royal, les premiers cartésiens et la scolastique tardive

    Roger AriewARTICLEArchives de Philosophie2015

    Dans quelle mesure la Logique de Port-Royal peut-elle être considérée comme une logique cartésienne ? Et dans quelle mesure l' Art de penser diffère-t-il des logiques antérieures ? Telles sont les deux questions, étroitement liées l'une à l'autre, auxquelles je souhaite répondre dans cette étude en procédant à une série de comparaisons, d'une part avec ce que Descartes appelait sa logique, d'autre part avec ce que les cartésiens de la première gé…

  • Summa Philosophiae Quadripartita or the Construction of the Late Scholastic Textbook

    Roger AriewCHAPTERDescartes and the First Cartesians2014

    Descartes initially conceived the Principles of Philosophy as a comparison of his philosophy and that of the scholastics, intending the work to be a synopsis of his philosophy arranged in the same order as in the school curriculum, together with a summary of school philosophy; and he chose Eustachius a Sancto Paulo’s Summa Philosophiae Quadripartica for the task—“the best book of its kind ever made,” as he said. Descartes’ praise for Eustachius’ …

  • Descartes' Correspondence before Clerselier

    Open AccessRoger AriewARTICLEJournal of Early Modern Studies2012

    Episodes of the wide diffusion of Galileo’s letters prompts me to consider whether the same thing could be demonstrated for Descartes. The question that interests me most is the circulation of Descartes’ correspondence before the publication of Clerselier’s edition of it, in three volumes, 1657–1667. Thus I examine the influence of Descartes’ unpublished correspondence in Jacques Du Roure’s La Philosophie divisée en toutes ses parties (Paris, 165…

    Charles-François d’Abra de Raconis was born into a Calvinist family that converted to Catholicism in 1592. He taught philosophy at the Collège des Grassins and the Collège du Plessis and theology at the Collège de Navarre, all in Paris. Later he was appointed preacher of the court and royal almoner

  • Leibniz On the Unicorn and Various Other Curiosities

    Roger AriewARTICLEEarly Science and Medicine1998Cited by: 1

    I discuss some of Leibniz's pronouncements about fringe phenomena--various monsters; talking dogs; genies and prophets; unicorns, glossopetrae, and other games of nature--in order to understand better Leibniz's views on science and the role these curiosities play in his plans for scientific academies and societies. However, given that Leibniz's sincerity has been called into question in twentieth-century secondary literature, I begin with a few h…

  • The Cartesian Destiny of Form and Matter

    Marjorie Grene, Roger AriewARTICLEEarly Science and Medicine1997Cited by: 1

    It would seem that there are enormous differences between strict hylomorphism and Cartesianism on form and matter: (i) for a strict hylomorphist, matter and form cannot be separated, but for a Cartesian, matter and form are really distinct ; (ii) for a strict hylomorphist, form is the principle of being and matter the principle of individuation, but for a Cartesian, the mind-a form-is the principle of individuation for persons, if anything is. Ho…
