I argue in this paper that Descartes's goal wirh his doctrine of the continuous recreation of the world is to offer a unified and ultimate causal explanations for (1° the possibility of motion and duration in the world, (2) the permanence (of the existence) of created things, and (3) the continuation of their motion and duration. This unified explanation seems to be the only one which, according to Descartes, satifies the two basic requirements any ultimate cause should meet: the cause (1) must be active and (2) not being in motion itself. God's recreations of the world is Descartes's solution to this search. I also show in this article, on the one han, that this doctrine successfully overcomes, in particular, the four major conflicts which threaten its consistency, and, on the other, the new meaning which the laws of nature acquire under the doctrine of the continuous recreation of the world.
