Descartes: la teoría de las ideas y el cambio científico

Abstract

This work propounds an interpretation of the Cartesian's theory of ideas that differs on three ways from the habituals interpretations: 1) in the distinction that the philosopher makes between what an idea seems to represent and that which it really represents; 2) the way in wich he understands an idea materially consider as an idea in order that it has an explicit content; 3) the emphasis he puts to make a distinction between an idea formally consider and an idea objetively consider. This interpretation not only finds its support in the texts, but it is also necessary to explain a great number of affirmations that, with others interpretations, would appear as problematics; for example, the answer from Descartes to Arnauld, or the Descarte's affirmation with respect to the existence of ideas that are materially falses, etc.
