Description
On Descartes' Passive Thought: The Myth of Cartesian Dualism
By examining his philosophy anew, Jean-Luc Marion sheds new light on René Descartes's theory of morals and the passions. He argues that Descartes did not subscribe to mind-body dualism, but rather held a holistic conception of body and mind.
This book offers a fresh perspective on Descartes's ideas, resisting prominent criticisms and anticipating modern concepts of human being. A significant contribution to the field of philosophy, it is a worthwhile read for serious historians of philosophy.
