Freedom and science in Descartes
Main Article Content
Abstract
![](https://revistas.unav.edu/social-icons/view.png)
Freedom in Descartes has two different junctures: before the possibility of truth is discovered and after its discovery. The experience of freedom prior to the establishment of the conditions of truth takes place in the decision to reconstruct the edifice of knowledge. The discovery of its theological foundation results in the moralisation of knowledge.
