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.
