20.500.12556/RUL-178686 The Cartesian political subject Descartes and Hobbes Kartezijanski politični subjekt Descartes in Hobbes René Descartes is usually presented in the history of philosophy as a thinker who established new foundations for the European scientific project. However, the political aspect of the Cartesian method is often overlooked. What were the socio-political reasons for Descartes’ turn to the cogito? Does the cogito enter into a certain contradiction when it transfers the foundation to God? And what does this dialectical play of foundations mean for the political? To answer these and other questions, this article conducts a comparative analysis of the views of René Descartes and Thomas Hobbes. It is known that both were adherents of the Cartesian method, which would suggest similarities in their political conclusions. However, this article argues that despite the similarity in their approaches, they arrive at different solutions for the dialectical resolution of the contradiction embedded in the Cartesian method. René Descartes je v zgodovini filozofije običajno predstavljen kot mislec, ki je postavil nove temelje za evropski znanstveni projekt, vendar pa se politični vidik kartezijanske metode pogosto spregleda. Kakšni so bili družbeno-politični razlogi za Descartesov obrat h cogito? Ali cogito ne vstopa v določeno protislovje, ko prenese temelj na Boga? In kaj ta dialektična igra temeljev pomeni za politično? Da bi odgovorili na ta in druga vprašanja, članek izvaja primerjalno analizo pogledov Renéja Descartesa in Thomasa Hobbesa. Znano je, da sta bila oba privrženca kartezijanske metode, kar na prvi pogled nakazuje podobnost njunih političnih zaključkov, vendar pa članek ugotavlja, da kljub podobnosti njunih pristopov prihajata do različnih pristopov k dialektičnemu razreševanju protislovja, vgrajenega v kartezijansko metodo.
