The heyday of the subject

Søren Gosvig Olesen

pp. 62-75

Descartes's Meditations on First Philosophy describes the philosopher's meditations day by day. Six meditations are completed in just as many days. These are the six days in which Descartes recreated the world in many ways. And on the seventh day — he rested? Certainly the meaning of the crucial breakthrough, for Descartes's Meditations, is that a new world came to replace the old, existing one.
