Descartes' attitude toward history is inseparable from the collapse of the cosmos of Aristotle and St. Thomas at the end of the 13th century, and from the profound sense of loneliness that overwhelms man. Far from reflecting the strength of a mind confident in the power of its thinking, Descartes' modernity translates the contingency and radical loneliness of a subjectivity that experiences, in its new power of thought, the impotence of thought to establish itself in the discontinuous exercise of what defines man, the cogito.
