It is widely recognised that Spinoza ended the Cartesian dualism of body and mind by thinking through the possibility of their unity. Revisiting this generally accepted notion of psycho-physical parallelism in Spinoza, Chantal Jaquet offers a new analysis of the relation between body and mind. Looking at a range of Spinoza's texts, and using an original methodology, she analyses their unity in action through the affects that bring together a body's affection and the idea of this affection. Jaquet reveals that understanding affects, actions and passions provides the key to how the mind and body are the same individual expressed in two different ways. She presents the Spinozist model in all its complexity, illuminating its potentialities for contemporary debates on the nature of the mind-body problem.
Chantal Jaquet is Professor of Philosophy at the Université Paris I, Panthéon-Sorbonne. She is the author of numerous books on Spinoza in French including Sub specie aeternitatis: étude des concepts de temps, durée et éternité chez Spinoza (1997), Spinoza ou la Prudence (1997), L’unité d corps et de l’esprit: Affects, actions, passions chez Spinoza (2004), Les expressions de la puissance d’agir chez Spinoza (2005), and Spinoza à l’oeuvre, composition des corps et force des idées (2017). Tatiana Reznichenko is a freelance translator and conference interpreter based in Paris.
