The turn of the millennium has been marked by new developments in the study of early modern philosophy. In particular, the philosophy of Renae Descartes has been reinterpreted in a number of important and exciting ways, specifically concerning his work on the mind-body union, the connection between objective and formal reality, and his status as a moral philosopher. These fresh interpretations have coincided with a renewed interest in overlooked parts of the Cartesian corpus and a sustained focus on the similarities between Descartes' thought and the philosophy of Baruch Spinoza. Mind, Body, and Morality consists of fifteen chapters written by scholars who have contributed significantly to the new turn in Descartes and Spinoza scholarship. The volume is divided into three parts. The first group of chapters examines different metaphysical and epistemological problems raised by the Cartesian mind-body union. Part II investigates Descartes' and Spinoza's understanding of the relations between ideas, knowledge, and reality. Special emphasis is put on Spinoza's conception of the relation between activity and passivity. Finally, the last part explores different aspects of Descartes' moral philosophy, connecting his views to important predecessors, Augustine and Abelard, and comparing them to Spinoza.

Si chacun a le pouvoir de vivre selon la raison, comment se fait-il que si peu la suivent, alors même qu’un grand nombre s’en réclament ? Certains voient le meilleur, mais font le pire. D’autres font le pire en croyant qu’il est le meilleur. Tous font tout ce qu’ils peuvent, et se réjouissent finalement de ce qu’ils sont. La philosophie de Spinoza rend compte de ces paradoxes : toute puissance est en acte. Qui peut le plus s’efforce nécessairement de faire le plus et ne peut faire moins. Qui peut le moins fait le moins volontiers, sans pouvoir faire plus. Chacun est aussi parfait qu’il peut l’être, et agit de la façon dont il y est disposé, malgré lui mais de gré, si ce n’est de bon gré. Le concept de disposition, tel qu’il s’élabore dans l’Éthique, permet de saisir la pratique commune des hommes dans un cadre nécessitariste et actualiste, de l’inconstance affective à la régularité des coutumes, des obsessions passionnelles à l’éducation et à l’affranchissement de la servitude. L’existence humaine n’est pas une comédie, encore moins une tragédie. Avec Spinoza, il s’agit d’en produire l’intelligence. If everyone has the power to live according to the guidance of reason, how is it that so few follow it, even though so many claim they do? Some see the best and do the worst, whereas others do the worst believing it is the best. All do everything they can and finally rejoice over what they are. The philosophy of Spinoza explains this human condition. All power is actual. He who can do the most cannot do less, and he who can do the least does so willingly, but cannot do more. Everyone is as perfect as they can be and acts the way they are disposed to, despite themselves, but readily. The concept of disposition, as it is developed in the Ethics, enables us to grasp the common practice of humans in a necessitarist and actualist context, from affective inconsistency to the regularity of habits, from passionate obsessions to education and emancipation. Human existence is…

Vittorio Morfino draws out the implications of the dynamic Spinoza-Machiavelli encounter by focusing on the concepts of causality, temporality and politics. This allows him to think through the relationship between ontology and politics, leading to an understanding of history as a complex and plural interweaving of different rhythms.
