Résumé | The paper examines the areas devoted to Descartes especially his Fourth Meditation in the lesson on The Philosophical Concept of Will that Ricoeur gave in 1967. By analyzing Ricoeur's claim that the cartesian philosophy of will represents a turning point within the tradition, the author aims to underline the interpretative shifts that testify to the influence of new mediations, namely Heidegger and Gueroult, but also and particularly to a critical distance that Ricoeur displays towards Descartes far more obviously than in the Philosophy of Will, a distance that is connected to a turning point in his thinking. With this objective in mind, the paper unfolds following three stages of Ricoeur's reading of Descartes : a) the phenomenological core; b) the will and order of reason; c) will and cogito. |
