- W2020026039 abstract "IT is a rather surprising fact that Descartes in his attempt to rebuild philosophy and the sciences never undertook to apply his method of universal doubt to the field of ethics. There would have been enough valid and well-considered reasons for him so to do. We need to remember only that the first part of his Discourse on Method expressed a profound distrust -of ancient moral philosophy, which he compared to very towering and magnificent palaces with no better foundation than sand and mud, chiefly for the reason that it gives us no adequate criterion for what it calls virtue.' Nevertheless, Descartes seems to exempt ethics from the rigors of his new method when, for the duration of his experiment in doubt, he adopts a type of interim ethics whose principal maxims are (i) conformity in all matters settled by the authorities of his day and, in all matters not settled by them, a middleof-the-road course; (2) a strikingly pragmatist rejection of doubt when it comes to immediate action; (3) self-adjustment to external vicissitudes, thus making, as it were, a virtue out of necessity; and (4), as a private maxim, the choice of the scientific way of life as the answer to his own personal problem (Part III). Moreover, at least in his Discourse and in his Meditations, Descartes never returns from the final reconstruction of his metaphysical belief in the existence of God and in a dualistic world to a critical revision of this provisional ethics.
