Resumen
GARCIA RODRIGUEZ, Sergio. HIPÓTESIS Y CERTEZA MORAL: LA CRÍTICA DE DESCARTES A LAS CAUSAS EFICIENTES. Eidos [online]. 2017, n.27, pp.174-198. ISSN 1692-8857.
The common interpretation of Descartes argues that the new science is a result of Cartesian replacement, in scientific explanations, of the final and formal causes by the efficient causes. While this statement is broadly correct, it has tended to assume that efficient causes do not imply any problem. This paper wishes to question this assumption, showing a number of problems concerning the knowability of efficient causes.
Palabras clave : Descartes; efficient cause; hypothesis; moral certainty; science.
