One of the great debates in Cartesian scholarship rages over the
sincerity or insincerity of Descartes' theological metaphysics. The
majority opinion is that Descartes was sincere. Walter Soffer,
however, champions the minority position in his From Science to
Subjectivity. His aim is the resolve the sincerity question
concerning the Meditations as part of an interpretation of the
latter's function within the Cartesian enterprise and its
metaphysical legacy. He argues that the insincerity view of the
Meditations is faithful to Descartes' intentions. The book
challenges the claim of Caton, the most outspoken proponent of the
minority stance, concerning the demise of metaphysics as a serious
and enduring philosophical activity.
