In den "Meditationes de prima philosophia" (1642) geht es Descartes um eine neue Grundlegung der Metaphysik. Dieser Neuanfang in der Philosophie, den Descartes wie wohl kaum ein anderer propagiert und durchführt, hat jedoch einen konservativen Zug: Gerade Descartes besteht darauf, daß seine Philosophie die älteste ist, die es überhaupt geben kann, und diese Aussage hat nur Sinn, wenn Metaphysik als Rekonstruktion der ursprünglichen Fragen vers...

Descartes ist im Jahre 1596 geboren. Ihm philosophisch nachzudenken, das bedarf auch unabhängig von Jubiläumsdaten keiner eigenen Rechtfertigung. Philosophen unterschiedlicher Provenienz ist es selbstverständlich, auf ihn und sein Werk Bezug zu nehmen, wann immer es darum geht, die Grundzüge des modernen Denkens zu untersuchen.
