Abstract

This article wants to expose the dubitative appreciation of realism in the First Meditation, in order to show the impact of this Cartesian action on the doctrine of creation ex nihilo, philosophically consolidated as authentic Christian cosmology by Aquinas, in substitution to the pagan cosmology built upon the principle ex nihilo nihil fit. First, we will make a brief statement of the realistic foundations that give support to the proofs of the creation developed by Aquinas. Then we will present how the submission of realism to the Cartesian method of doubt entails the inevitable collapse of the cosmological Christian building.
