Overview
Il y a des raisons de croire - et de penser que Descartes croit - que des perceptions claires et distinctes ne sont pas faciles à trouver. En effet, une grande partie du corpus de Descartes est une lamentation sur les obstacles posés par l’incorporation et sur les efforts nécessaires pour la contourner. Tant que nous sommes attachés à un corps, les distractions sensorielles peuvent nous empêcher d'avoir des perceptions claires et distinctes ; ils peuvent également détourner notre attention d'une perception claire et distincte en cours. L’épistémologie de Descartes semble renfermer un contrepoids : il faut, pour connaître réellement quelque chose, non seulement l’avoir clairement et distinctement perçue, mais aussi avoir une perception claire et distincte de la véracité divine permettant de bloquer l’inquiétude hyperbolique que nos esprits puissent être trompés sur les sujets les plus évidents pour nous. Descartes soutient qu'il est possible qu'un esprit humain converge vers des vérités absolument indubitables et « stables et susceptibles de durer », bien que ses vues sur l'incorporation suggèrent que rien ne pourrait être aussi bien compris. Cet article soutient que la méthode cartésienne consistant à considérer le doute hyperbolique comme une confusion non motivée ne consiste pas à avoir immédiatement sous les yeux une perception claire et distincte de la véracité divine, mais à acquérir l’habitude incorporée de dire quand une proposition (comme le doute hyperbolique) présente une face confuse. There is reason to believe – and reason to think that Descartes believes – that clear and distinct perceptions are not easy to come by. Indeed, much of Descartes’ corpus is a lamentation on the obstacles that are posed by embodiment and on the efforts that are required to work around it. So long as we are attached to a body, sensory distractions can keep us from having clear and distinct perceptions; they can also divert our attention from a clear and distinct perception that is underway. A seeming countercurrent in Descartes’ epistemology is the view that in order to really know something we must not only have clearly and distinctly perceived it, but we must also have a clear and distinct perception of divine veracity by which to block the hyperbolic worry that our minds might be deceived about matters that are most evident to us. Descartes holds that it is possible for a human mind to converge on truths that are wholly indubitable and “stable and likely to last”, though his views on embodiment suggest that nothing could ever be grasped quite so well. This paper argues that the Cartesian method for seeing hyperbolic doubt as an unmotivated confusion is not to have a clear and distinct perception of divine veracity ready at hand but to acquire an embodied habit of telling when a proposal (like hyperbolic doubt) is confused on its face.
