Abstract
I would like to show three things here, the first two of which can be
considered together and the third of which emerges from them. First,
I want to show that there is a structure and purpose akin to fables in early
moments of Descartes’ texts throughout his career; second, that this
structure and purpose mean that the method he developed is neither as
simple nor as pure as he claimed; and third, that, with these first two read-
ings of Descartes’ philosophy at hand, the mind’s faculties are reformed
thanks to the imagination, which is itself a faculty.
