Abstract

The Cartesian mechanism supposes not only an alternative to the Aristotelian Physics, but also a transformation of the Metaphysics and of its relation with the Physics. In this article I defend that the Modernity of the Cartesian proposal consists of the need of the Metaphysics as a foundation of the Physics to avoid the ontological weakness that implies the epistemological turning that Descartes carries out.
