The question of the Eucharist and trans-substantiation is a part of metaphysical reflection in the history of modern philosophy, especially in the seventeenth century. A specific case in this area is the contribution of René Descartes. Descartes does not comment on the problem of the Eucharist and trans-substantiation on his own initiative. This issue is present in this French thinker only on the basis of some suggestions to which he had to respond. For this reason, it is even more interesting to study Descartes’ argument. The aim of the present study is to show the main lines of Descartes’ argumentation with the transition from physics to metaphysics, as this argumentation emerges from the selected correspondence and the objections and replies to Descartes’ Meditations on the First Philosophy.
