Abstract<\/a>:<\/strong> The point of departure of this paper is a critical reconsideration of the debate on the concept of realitas obiectiva<\/em> in the First Objections and Replies in Descartes\u2019s Meditations on First Philosophy. The aim of the paper is, on the one side, to stress the role played by Descartes in the formulation of the modern concept of \u2018reality\u2019 and, on the other side, to inquire into the role that the Cartesian thought could have played in the historical formulation of the concept of intentionality too. Moving from this general perspective, the paper offers a description of the ontology of the ideal contents given by Descartes in his Meditations; then, it tries to clarify the relationship between this ontology and the doctrine of the intentionality; finally, it proposes an overall interpretation of the fundamental debate between Descartes and Caterus. The point is that the Cartesian doctrine of the realitas obiectiva<\/em> marked a decisive step in the long history of the intentionality in so far as it stimulated a reflection on the \u2018reality\u2019 of the intentional objects considered as contained in the ideas.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Publisher’s Blurb<\/mark><\/a>:<\/strong> The invention of the concept of realitas obiectiva has always been associated with the name of Ren\u00e9 Descartes. By integrating this notion into the first proof of the existence of God elaborated in his Meditationes de prima philosophia, Descartes would have sanctioned, according to a widespread opinion, the irruption of the vocabulary of realitas in the framework of modern metaphysics. Thus understood, in the perspective of ordinary interpretation, the Cartesian gesture would therefore be inaugural. However fascinating, this reading does not seem sufficiently well-founded. When Descartes first used the notion of realitas obiectiva, the latter could already boast of a centuries-old history – a story that, although characterized by important mediations, leads back to Duns Scoto and the main representatives of so-called formalist Scotism. The investigation conducted here is intended to give an account of this story that is still not adequately investigated. Through an examination of the Scotist vocabulary, the volume aims to reconstruct a genealogy of the notion of realitas obiectiva that allows to identify, before and regardless of Descartes, the theoretical context within which it was actually elaborated.

Author’s Abstract<\/mark><\/a>:<\/strong> The thesis presented examines the historical background of the realitas objectiva<\/em>, its constitution, the posterity it knew in Descartes’ Meditationes. Absent from the immediate predecessors of the French philosopher, the phrase “realitas obiectiva<\/em>” is present in a Scotist tradition that dates back to Ioannes Canonicus (Jean Marbres) via Martinus Meurisse, Pierre Tartaret, Antonius Trombetta, Antonius Syrectus. Chapters I and II try to explain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(a) the notion of realitas obiectiva<\/em> by an analysis of the lexical and semantic context in which it appears (realitas-formalitas-intelligibilitas<\/em>);<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(b) to place the notion of realitas obiectiva<\/em> in the tradition in which it was invented, and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(c) to show the importance of a thinker such as Trombetta, who had the merit of ratifying, by explaining it, the vocabulary of realitas obiectiva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Chapter III, the author considers the first modern occurrence of the phrase in Pierre Tartaret in the context of the question of the univocity of the being, and renews the notion to its first occurrence in Ioannes Canonicus. Chapter IV considers the introduction of the vocabulary of the realitas obiectiva<\/em> in the question of divine science (Meurisse), showing the relationship it has with the modern concept of ens reale<\/em>. Chapter V seeks to show the permanence of the connection between realitas obiectiva<\/em> and ens reale<\/em> within the discussion on ens rationis<\/em> and considers the posterity of the notions of realitas obiectiva<\/em> in Descartes’s Meditations<\/em>.
