Descartes a très fortement influé sur divers penseurs allemands du xviie siècle, avant tout sur Leibniz. Dans la formation de sa théorie de la connaissance et de sa Monadologie, celui-ci a reçu de Descartes des suggestions décisives. Au xvme siècle, avant Kant, le rationalisme de Descartes fait encore beaucoup pour déterminer la méthode et les problèmes de la philosophie allemande, par sa théorie de la substance. L’idéalisme allemand créé par Kant, de même que le néokantisme dans la seconde moitié du (...) xixe siècle, sont d’accord avec le point de départ idéaliste de la pensée cartésienne, mais non avec ses conclusions réalistes. Aujourd’hui, nous autres allemands, nous sommes plutôt disposés à approuver la théorie cartésienne de la connaissance, comme nous honorons en lui le modèle d’une véritable et profonde nature de penseur.
