Resumen
MARGOT, Jean-Paul. On the "more geometrico" in Descartes and Spinoza. Prax. filos. [online]. 2009, n.29, pp.85-100. ISSN 0120-4688.
The aversion of Renaissance authors to the syllogistic method led them to experiment with more "aesthetic" novel literary forms that often concealed the utter lack of logic and reasoning. The use of the geometric method would be the response of the philosophers of the 18th century to this lack of logic and reasoning. This would seem to be the case indeed with Descartes who eliminated "the language and the style of the Schoolmen" and decreed the universality of the mathematical method. Nonetheless, according to Spinoza, Descartes did not succeed in escaping from the domination of scholaticism, as he inherited the theological speculations of medievalism, nor did he succeed in freeing himself entirely from the Aristotelian organón.
