註釋The skeptic Pierre-Daniel Hueta (TM)s "Censura philosophiae cartesianae" (1689) is the most comprehensive, unrelenting and devastating critique of Descartes ever. It incisively captures all the issues that now interest readers of Descartes: the method of doubt, the "cogito," clarity and distinctness as criteria of truth, the circularity of the "Meditations," proofs of Goda (TM)s existence, etc. Naturally, the work provoked great controversy among the Cartesians, who were implicated in various capacitiesa "Nicolas Malebranche as the occasional cause of the publication, and Pierre-Sylvain Regis as the chief defender of the Cartesian camp. What emerges in this study of the controversy is a heroic, defensible Descartes. He possesses hitherto unappreciated answers to the criticisms that have bedeviled his philosophy from his time to ours.
