Titolo / Title: Gli avversari di Descartes. Pedro da Fonseca e i Conimbricensi sulle verità eterne e la potenza divina

Abstract: This paper is aimed to indicate two new possible Descartes’ sources. As far as the Cartesian theory of free creation of eternal truths is concerned, this doctrine has often been considered as a reaction to the thought of Francisco Suárez. In this article, we tried to demonstrate that there is the possibility of extending the domain of Cartesian references. In this regard, we have focused on Pedro da Fonseca and the Coimbra Commentaries, trying to point out some additional sources in the Cartesian reflection.

Keywords: Coimbra; René Descartes; eternal truths; Pedro da Fonseca; Francisco Suárez.
