Abstract

The paper starts from the differentiation of a historical-philosophical reception of the Renaissance philosophy and a reception that is characterized by the feature that it shares the same, common problem with the received (i. e., Renaissance philosophy). This kind of reception is called influence, and Petrić was received in that sense in the 17th century. A characteristic of that reception is that it can be anonymous and negative. The paper aims to use Mersenn’s (specified and negative) reception of Petrić to point at the possibility of an anonymous-negative reception of Petrić in an early work by R. Descartes. Although crytical (and anonymous), this reception would be very important, because Descartes’s argument in the text that may refer to Petrić playes a major role in the creation of the idea of basing science in the self-certainty of consciousness.
