Abstract

The search for an accordance between Aristotle's and Descartes' philosophies is aimed to make Cartesian physics acceptable in the Dutch universities by showing its consistency with Aristotelian thought. Their agreement is defended by Johannes De Raey in the Clavis philosophiae naturalis (1654), where he interprets the Corpus Aristotelicum from a Cartesian standpoint. Those Aristotelian positions which are inconsistent with Descartes' are treated as erroneous. The Scholastic positions, moreover, are considered as far from the true Aristotelian philosophy rediscovered by Descartes. Scholastics' criticism to cartesianism as a philosophy which contradicts the established curriculum is sent them back.
