La interpretación de Descartes en Keiji Nishitani: transcurso y destino del sujeto moderno
Abstract
Is it justified to take Descartes as a paradigmatic example of modern subjectivity? To what extent is it? In this paper I will inquire into this issue in the case of the interpretation articulated by the contemporary Japanese philosopher Keiji Nishitani (1900-1990). This approach will make it possible to clarify what is particularly modern in the Cartesian subject, even after conceding that the traditional way of interpreting Descartes must be reconsidered.
