Abstract :
[en] My goal is to distinguish three notions of confusion. An analysis of confusion is important because confusion arguably is a source of mistakes. Hence disentangling various kinds of confusion may help identify—and, eventually, neutralize—various sources of mistakes. I argue that Twardowski’s doctoral dissertation on Descartes contains some valuable thoughts in this respect.
