Although Descartes, in his epistolary correspondence with Mersenne in 1630, stated that he wanted to address many questions of metaphysics in his treatise on physics – probably referring to Le monde –, in the latter work, he explicitly renounces any engagement in metaphysical considerations. Nevertheless, it is a matter of understanding that such silence is a symptom of a speculative knot that essentially characterizes Cartesian philosophy. Indeed, a comparison between the epistles addressed to Mersenne in 1630 and Le monde could indicate how Descartes, for a long time, had oscillated between two opposing views of conceiving divine infinity, reconciled perhaps – but only partially – afterwards, in the Meditationes. Thus, by analyzing the Cartesian theory of the divine creation of the laws of nature and eternal truths, presented to Mersenne and then modified in Le monde, one could reconstruct the genesis of the Cartesian concept of God as infinite and creator, noting consequently its paradoxes.
