Abstract
Today Descartes is known wrongly as a secular philosopher. In this article, we are going to show that God has a good place in Descartes philosophy and makes the basis of his system. God in Descartes' philosophical system is not only the basis of metaphysics but also the basis of physics and ethics. God's knowledge and will are sources of every reality, sources of whatever exists and sources of our knowledge of whatever exists. God is not only the source of physics but also the source of ethical good. The natural light of wisdom in us not only enables us to understand the mathematical structure of the world, but also empowers us to understand the ethical values.
