Elisabeth was carefully educated in music, dancing, art, Latin, Greek (her family nickname was “La Greque” for her fondness for Greek), some natural sciences, and, largely through her association with Descartes, philosophy.
Elisabeth was disappointed with Descartes’ answer, since she thought it did not fit the facts of experience: We can imagine the soul to move the body in the same way a fictitious “heaviness” [a quality of bodies] moves a body (letter from Descartes, May 21, 1643)
Elisabeth pushed Descartes back into his own scepticism by reminding him of the rule he himself founded: that in speaking of the true and the false, all errors are derived from forming judgments on that which one does not see clearly enough (letter to Descartes, July 1, 1643).
