Abstract

Ramon Llull (1245-1315) became known in the Renaissance period and at the beginning of modernity as the author of the Ars Magna, and he was especially known to Descartes as the author of the Ars brevis. Llull described his theoretical system as the «art of discovering the truth», and therefore his purpose was to develop a kind of universal language, using an axiomatic system which could be used to generate truths from fundamental premises. This article aims to clarify whether the Ramon Llull’s Ars Magna influenced the development of the philosophical spirit of Descartes, and how this took place.
