Abstract
Description
En este trabajo, argumento que Descartes está comprometido, a la vez, con una posición compatibilista respecto de la relación entre libre albedrío y preordenación divina, esto es, una posición según la cual ambas tesis resultan verdaderas, y con una concepción libertaria del libre albedrío humano. La posición suya que, según defiendo aquí, permite al autor sostener esas dos actitudes es lo que llamo Misterismo, según el cual el carácter inmenso e incomprensible de Dios es lo que no nos permite comprender cabalmente esa compatibilidad mediante nuestra razón finita.
I argue in this paper that Descartes is committed both to a compatibilist view concerning the relation between free will and divine preordination, namely, one according to which both of these views come out true, and to a libertarian view as regards human free will. I defend here that what allows our author to maintain both of these committments is what I call Mysterism, namely, the view according to which God's immense and incomprehensible nature explains our incapacity to understand fully that compatibility through our own finite reason.
