摘　　要：笛卡尔在1630年提出了著名的"永恒真理的创造"学说,并坚持终身。这一学说指出,永恒真理,即形而上学、逻辑学、数学等学科的最首要的真理是上帝所创造并保存的,上帝还同时保证永恒真理的不变性。然而笛卡尔却同时认为上帝是无限而不可理解的,并对其所创造的永恒真理持有完全自由与无分别的态度,由此这些真理的不变性又遭到了威胁。本文通过分析这一学说中上帝的创造、永恒真理与世界的关系以及永恒真理的永恒性与不变性的含义而揭示了这一悖论的内在含义。对于这一悖论的理解有助于我们理解笛卡尔哲学中上帝维度的复杂性,并能够反映笛卡尔将传统神学论题转变为现代形而上学的过程中的困难与挑战。In 1630,Descartes put forth his famous doctrine of 'the creation of eternal truths',and he never gave it up for the rest of his life.This doctrine holds that eternal truths,i.e.,those most principal and fundamental truths in metaphysics,logic and mathematics are all created and conserved by God,and God guarantees the immutability of eternal truths.Nevertheless,Descartes claims that God is infinite and incomprehensible,and his will is free and indifferent to eternal truths,which may threaten the immutability of eternal truths.In order to uncover this paradox,this paper analyzes the relationship among God's creation,eternal truths and the created world,as well as the meaning of the eternity and immutability of eternal truths.The paradox in Descartes' s doctrine of the creation of eternal truths may help us to understand the complexity of Descartes' s doctrine of God and the difficulties and challenges that Descartes met when he transformed the traditional theological themes into modern metaphysics.
