Descartes: New texts/new perspectives. Colloquio internazionale (Parigi, 19-20 aprile 2018)

Abstract

This note describes the Conference organized in Paris at the Institut d’Études Avancées by Daniel Garber on 19-20 April 2018, to discuss recently discovered manuscript of an early version of the Regulae ad directionem ingenii, and of a manuscript copy of the Meditationes de prima philosophia in its pre-publication state. The discovery of these new manuscripts allows Cartesian scholars to discuss new perspectives of interpretation both of the establishment of the Cartesian method and of its relations to mathesis universalis and to metaphysics.
