Descartes’ın Metafizik Projesindeki Eksik Parça: Zaman

Descartes’ın metafizik projesinin merkezinde kendilik, Tanrı ve dış dünya temaları bulunmaktadır. Descartes, kendiliği uzamlı tözden ayırarak onu düşü nen töz olarak ele alır. Yaratılmamış töz olan Tanrı’nın aksine, kendilik ve dış dünya yaratılmış tözler olarak düşünülürler. Bu makale üç ana konuya odaklanmaktadır. Birincisi, Descartes’ın kendilik ve dış dünya hakkındaki düşüncelerinin ne olduğunu, varoluş ve sürerlik üzerinden anlamaya çalışmaktır. İkincisi, Descartes’ta kendiliğin dış dünyaya nasıl erişim sağladığını göstermek tir. Sonuncusu ise Descartes’ın metafizik projesindeki, diğer bir deyimle kendilik, dış dünya ve bunlar arasındaki ilişkiyi açıklama girişimindeki, eksikliğe dikkat çekmektir. Bu makalede, bulmacadaki eksik parça olan zaman yerine konularak söz konusu eksiklik giderilmeye çalışılacaktır.

The Missing Piece in Descartes’ Metaphysical Project: Time

Descartes’ metaphysical project revolves around the themes of the self, God, and the external world. He takes the self as a thinking substance by separating it from the extended substance. Unlike God – the uncreated substance – the self and the external world are considered to be created substances. This paper has three objectives. The first is to find out Descartes’ answer to the question of what the self and the external world are by examining existence and persistence. The second is to show how Descartes demonstrates the selfgetting access to this world. The last is to point out the deficiency in his metaphysical project, namely, the deficiency in his accounts of the self, the external world, and the relation between them. This paper attempts to make up for this deficiency by putting the missing piece, i.e., time into its place.
