N2 - This short work was written in Latin and published under the title Notae in Programma Quoddam early in 1648, by the house of Elzevir at Amsterdam. The work is sometimes known as the 'Notes against a Programme', a crudely literal rendering of the Latin title. In Notae, Descartes replies to the points made in a broadsheet published anonymously by Henricus Regius towards the end of 1647. Regius, Professor of Medicine at the University of Utrecht, had strongly supported Descartes' ideas earlier in the 1640s, but Descartes was angered by the publication of Regius' Foundations of Physics, in 1646, which, he claimed, repeated many of his ideas, some gleaned from private correspondence, and distorted others. Descartes publicly dissociated himself from Regius in the Prefatory Letter to the French edition of the Principles of Philosophy in 1647, and Regius replied by publishing the Notae, which set out a list of points on which they differered. The main philosophical interest of Notae is innateness. UR - https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/pub/ifder/issue//464443 L1 - https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/download/article-file/543170 ER -
