Descrizione

Jean-Robert Chouet, professor of philosophy at the Academy of Saumur (1664-1669) and later on at the Academy of Genève (1669-1686), is an outstanding historical figure who, in a critical moment of the Modern European thought formation, shows how the philosophical reflection nourished by the doctrines of the Aristotelic and Scholastic tradition confidently opened up to the contribution of novatores and, particularly, to the Descartes’ philosophy. Thanks to a not common competence and clarity of tought he was able to evaluate, receive and provide new philosophical doctrines, by harmoniously integrating them in the corpus of traditional philosophical reflection, in line with the teaching received at Kaspar Wyss’ school. The
publication of his Correspondence, of his Courses of Philosophy and of the documents concerning his teaching activities allows to understand the vicissitudes of the reception of the Cartesian doctrines in two European vital cultural centers. Moreover, it offers precious hints for the study of the formation of his disciples, among which Jean Le Clerc and Pierre Bayle are included.

Keywords: Cartesianism, Aristotelianism, Novatores, Geneve, Saumur
