Abstract

The article analyzes the qualitative specificity of the work of Descartes as a philosopher. It is revealed that it includes the joint development of subjective-idealistic, materialistic and objective-idealistic components of his philosophical concept; in the future, their competition will determine the historical peculiarity of the whole modern philosophy. This made it possible to define the outstanding role of Descartes as one of its founders as a unique feature. The main attention is paid to the subjective-idealistic component of Descartes's philosophy. His efforts to justify it are critically assessed. The conclusion is made that these efforts failed.
