ENG: Nowadays technocratic reflections of Descartes’ legacy have run out of their heuristic potential. The authors consider that more attention to Descartes’ anthropology, which is not sufficiently reasoned in research literature, should be given. The prerequisite for genuine understanding of Descartes’ views as an anthropologist is the ability to admit that worldview and philosophical issues were of high priority for him.
Based on his early texts, it is рroved that anthropological interest dominated in his works. "L'Homme" is a good example, since its significance has been underestimated so far. It is argued that it is worth reading the text according to its first title. The authors think that physics for Descartes was more the form of concealing his beliefs rather than revealing them.
