Chapter 1The Story of L’Homme

Antoine-Mahut, Delphine

Pages: 1 –29

[The story of L’Homme is a true novel. Its plot weaves itself along three intersecting points: an unfinished text, a copied or plagiarised text, and a corrected text. Telling this whole and complex story helps us to understand the true place of Descartes in the history of modern anthropology and...

The Primacy of L’Homme in the 1664 Parisian Edition by Clerselier

Bitbol-Hespériès, Annie

Pages: 33 –47

[How can we understand the priority ascribed to L’Homme in the Préfaces by Clerselier and Schuyl and in the Remarques by La Forge? What are the reasons of this imbalance? What does the editor’s decision to change the title of the “second treatise” mean? Why, also, the silent attitude of La Forge...

New Indications for Critical Edition of L’Homme

Meschini, Franco A.

Pages: 49 –62

[The chapter reflects on some variants from the Latin edition of 1662 edited by Fl. Schuyl: the partitioj, the cross-references, the omission of the Latin passage on the French edition (Hic notari...), an omission in the fifth part (Et notez en passant...). Finally, starting from the compliance...

L’Homme in English

Gaukroger, Stephen

Pages: 63 –67

[The earlier lack of interest in L’Homme and how this has changed over the last few decades, with attention to the physiological ingredients in Cartesian epistemology and account of the passions. The translations of Hall and Gaukroger are compared.]

The Early Dutch Reception of L’Homme

Schmaltz, Tad M.

Pages: 71 –90

[This is a consideration of the connection of L’Homme to two very different forms of early modern Dutch Cartesianism. On the one hand, this work was central to a dispute between Descartes and his former disciple, Henricus Regius. In particular, Descartes charged that Regius had plagiarized...

The Critical Reception of Cartesian Physiology in Tommaso Cornelio’s Progymnasmata Physica

Carbone, Raffaele

Pages: 91 –101

[This article highlights certain key moments in the dissemination of Cartesianism in Naples in the 17th century. It focuses, in particular, on the Progymnasmata physica (1663), written by Tommaso Cornelio (1614–1684), who derived a great deal of his conceptions of physics and physiology from...

The Reception of L’Homme Among the Leuven Physicians: The Condemnation of 1662 and the Origins of Occasionalism

Collacciani, Domenico

Pages: 103 –125

[There is abundant commentary in the literature on the successive censures of Descartes’s philosophy by the Leuven theological faculty in 1662 and the Holy Office in 1663. This essay seeks to demonstrate that the 1662 condemnation struck in particular an occasionalist interpretation of the...

Machine and Communication of Corporeal Dispositions in Descartes and La Forge: The Mysterious ‘Article 83’ of L’Homme and La Forge’s Comments

Drieux, Philippe

Pages: 127 –138

[In the Remarques he added to L’Homme, La Forge lays the emphasis on a few lines that Clerselier had isolated in his Table as an “article 83”. For la Forge, Descartes didn’t tell enough to be completely understood, though the subject was in itself full of beauty. What is at stake are the...

La Forge on Memory: From the Treatise on Man to the Treatise on the Human Mind

Scribano, Emanuela

Pages: 139 –154

[In his remarks on L’Homme, La Forge aims at a rigid separation of the functions of the body from the activity of the soul. This project looks authentically Cartesian, but some critical issues reveal how difficult it is taking away any activity of the soul in sensitive experience. In the Traité...

Light and Man: An Anomaly in the Treatise on Light?

Alban-Zapata, Gabriel

Pages: 155 –173

[It has been quite common to talk about Descartes’ text on man as if it were the second part of The World, following a first part which would deserve by itself to be entitled Traité de la lumière. Yet, from the indications given in the Discourse on Method, as well as in the first editions of...
