Abstract
CASTELLI, Paula and ZERBUDIS, Ezequiel. Mundo externo e imaginación en la sexta Meditación cartesiana: A propósito de unas consideraciones de Mario Caimi. Rev. latinoam. filos. [online]. 2010, vol.36, n.2, pp.299-314. ISSN 1852-7353.
In this paper, we analyze critically the interpretation offered by Mario Caimi of the cartesian arguments presented in the Sixth Meditation in order to prove the existence of material bodies. We disagree with his interpretation. This disagreement is based, mainly, in a different interpretation of the role that imagination plays in those proofs. We present here some arguments, both textual and philosophical, that strongly suggest an alternative interpretation, which we present in outline.
Keywords : Imagination; Sensation; Extensión; External World; Cartesian Dualism.
