Abstract

The role of Descartes’s use of doubt in the reality of the existence of everything as propaedeutic is revealed. Namely, this is done to actually recognize the certainty for the mind of man of the existence of only himself. And this determined the dualistic essence of the entire philosophical position of Descartes. It is a manifestation of his desire to combine conceptually incompatible: orientation both to science and religion.
