Description
Summary:The article aim is to turn the spotline on the main thesis of refl ection of Descartes’ skepticism doctrine as well one’s argumentation estimation at the context of thinker’s creativeness. These steps will promote the overcoming of one-dimensional comprehension of his attitude on skepticism as an essential part of his doctrine. That is why it has sense to concentrate an attention on some interpretations of key motives of Cartesian anti-skeptic approach at research literature as well as defi ne the place of anthropological project at these motives fi rstly. Secondly, make an accent on the key role of anthropological dimension of one’s doctrine at the context of philosophical polemics with skepticism. The analysis of interpretations of Descartes’ heritage as well as one’s original texts demonstrates the absence of adequate interpretation of one’s place at the history of skepticism. The specifi c place of Descartes’ anti-skepticism is also demonstrated. Most of researchers pay ones’ attention on the tight vision of Modern Age at the form of development of scientifi c worldview. This position does not takes into account the contemporary level of Descartes’ studies. First of all, authors make an accent on the need to overcome the fragmentary vision of thinker’s heritage. Secondly, the valuable role of anthropological dimension of Descartes’ texts is underlined. This position lets perform more authentic perception of one’s anti-skeptic approach. In the course of fi nding the roots of researched situation, the authors’ attention was consistently concentrated on the features of the contemporary interpretation of Modern Age request which is reduced to development of scientifi c worldview by the skepticism researchers. Such position marginalizes the anthropological component of one’s doctrine.
