In the first part of the chapter, we followed how in the 1930s, inspired by Husserl, Patočka makes an effort to deepen the critique of Descartes’ philosophy in its two aspects of method and metaphysics, reducing the rhetorical emphasis present in Husserl. In this light, Descartes appears not so much as a discoverer, but rather as a skillful systematizer providing an adequate methodological basis for the various sciences from physics to medicine and psychology. Second, although Descartes introduced motifs of medieval ontology into his philosophy, he de-problematized and instrumentalized them, thus completing the long process of the transformation of Aristotelian metaphysics. In the second part, we described Patočka’s critique of Husserl’s Cartesianism, a Cartesianism that originally stems from Brentano’s philosophy.
