In his.Cartesian Theodicy., Janowski demonstrates that Descartes‘epistemological problems are merely rearticulations of theologicalquestions. For example, Descartes‘ attempt to define the role of Godin man‘s cognitive fallibility is a reiteration of an old argumentthat points out the incongruity between the existence of God and evil,and his pivotal question `whence error?‘ is shown here to be arephrasing of the question `whence evil?‘ The answer Descartes givesin the .Meditations. is actually a reformulation of the answerfound in St. Augustine‘s .De Libero Arbitrio. and the.Confessions.. The influence of St. Augustine on Descartes canalso be detected in the doctrine of eternal truths which, within thecontext of the 17th-century debates over the question of the nature ofdivine freedom, caused Descartes to ally himself with the AugustinianOratorians against the Jesuits. Both in his .Cartesian Theodicy.as well as his .Index Augustino-Cartesian, Textes et..Commentaire.
