笛卡尔在1630年提出了著名的“永恒真理的创造”学说,并坚持终身。这一学说指出,永恒真理,即形而上学、逻辑学、数学等学科的最首要的真理是上帝所创造并保存的,上帝还同时保证永恒真理的不变性。然而笛卡尔却同时认为上帝是无限而不可理解的,并对其所创造的永恒真理持有完全自由与无分别的态度,由此这些真理的不变性又遭到了威胁。本文通过分析这一学说中上帝的创造、永恒真理与世界的关系以及永恒真理的永恒性与不变性的含义而揭示了这一悖论的内在含义。对于这一悖论的理解有助于我们理解笛卡尔哲学中上帝维度的复杂性,并能够反映笛卡尔将传统神学论题转变为现代形而上学的过程中的困难与挑战。
Descartes put forward the famous theory of “Creation of Eternal Truth” in 1630 and persisted for life. This doctrine states that the most important truth of the eternal truth, metaphysics, logic, mathematics and other disciplines, is created and preserved by God, and God also guarantees the immutability of the eternal truth. At the same time, however, Descartes considers that God is infinite and incomprehensible and has a completely free and indiscriminate attitude towards the eternal truths it has created, whereby the immutability of these truths is threatened. This article reveals the inherent meaning of this paradox by analyzing the meaning of God’s creation, the relationship of eternal truth to the world, and the meaning of eternity and invariance of the eternal truth in this doctrine. Understanding this paradox helps us to understand the complexity of the dimension of God in Descartes’ philosophy and to reflect the difficulties and challenges that Descartes transforms traditional theology into modern metaphysics.
