PONZIO, Paolo. El concepto del yo en la metafísica moderna del Siglo XVII: Campanella y Descartes. Tópicos [online]. 2006, n.14, pp.9-21. ISSN 1666-485X.

The concept of ego in the modern metaphysics of the XVII century: from the self-consciousness of Thomas Campanella to the cogito of Descartes. This are the coordinates within which it is possible to investigate the concept of the ego in the modern age. The present article, therefore, tries to analyse the philosophical choices of these two great authors of modern philosophy, to be finally able to ask: Which is the price  we pays to modernity? This  alleged "solipsistic" assertion of  subjectivity in way encourages the loss of interest in reality; even more, the loss of reality itself  producing -as Hannah Arendt stated in The Human Condition, quoting Whitehead - "the effect of withdrawing from the common sense".

Palavras-chave : Descartes; Campanella; ego; modern metaphysics.
