Descartes est connu pour etre le philosophe des fermes et constantes resolutions . Comment expliquer alors qu’il critique severement les promesses , dans les maximes de la morale par provision du Discours de la Methode? Une resolution, en effet, n’est-elle pas une maniere de promesse a soi-meme? Suivant ce fil, le present ouvrage propose un parcours entierement original dans la correspondance, l’oeuvre et la vie de Descartes. La mise en evidence, dans le geste cartesien, d’une devalorisation et d’une valorisation simultanees des promesses (mais aussi des voeux, des serments, des contrats), permet de jeter une lumiere nouvelle sur la morale de la generosite, sur les plus celebres creations conceptuelles de Descartes (creation des verites eternelles, creation continuee, liberte d’indifference et liberte infinie), mais aussi sur le singulier metier d’auteur , qui conduisit le philosophe, tout au long de sa vie, tantot a vouloir desavouer ses ecrits (comme autant d’engagements), et tantot a les defendre avec la derniere opiniatrete, dans les multiples querelles et polemiques auxquelles il fut mele. Plus generalement, les constants paradoxes cartesiens temoignent ici des infelicites structurelles du regime de la promesse.
