Descartes is often accused of having fragmented the human being
into two independent substances, mind and body, with no clear
strategy for explaining the apparent unity of human experience.
Deborah Brown argues that, contrary to this view, Descartes did in
fact have a conception of a single, integrated human being, and
that in his view this conception is crucial to the success of human
beings as rational and moral agents and as practitioners of
science. The passions are pivotal in this, and in a rich and
wide-ranging discussion she examines Descartes' place in the
tradition of thought about the passions, the metaphysics of actions
and passions, sensory representation, and Descartes' account of
self-mastery and virtue. Her study is an important and original
reading not only of Descartes' account of mind-body unity but also
of his theory of mind.
