The passions have long been condemned as a creator of disturbance
and purveyor of the temporary loss of reason, but as Remo Bodei
argues in Geometry of the Passions, we must abandon the perception
that order and disorder are in a constant state of collision. By
means of a theoretical and historical analysis, Bodei interprets
the relationship between passion and reason as a conflict between
two complementary logics. Geometry of the Passions investigates the
paradoxical conflict-collaboration between passions and reason, and
between individual and political projects. Tracing the roles
passion and reason have played throughout history, including in the
political agendas of Descartes, Hobbes, and the French Jacobins,
Geometry of the Passions reveals how passion and reason may be used
as a vehicle for affirmation rather than self-enslavement.
