Descartes’ concept of the infinite refers to the categories of substance and quantity; it’s different to modern mathematical theories of the continuum, related with quality. Cartesianism is based on an infinite which is God; the infinite supposes God and cogito is a consequence of God; this idea explains the world and its intelligibility. Human life is sui generis as goes by between the finite and the measureless infinite; also it is realized because necessity and freedom. This man’s vision takes Descartes to find out the truth with the practical purpose to live as well as possible.
