Steven Nadler presents the first English translation of a seminal
work in the history of early modern philosophy. Geraud de
Cordemoy's Six Discourses on the Distinction Between the Soul and
the Body (originally published in French in 1666) offers an account
of the mind and the body in a human being. Cordemoy is an
unorthodox Cartesian who opts for an atomist conception of body and
matter. In this groundbreaking treatise, he also presents one of
the earliest arguments for an occasionalist account of causation,
with God serving as the true cause of bodily motions in the world
and of ideas in the mind. Nadler also includes the first English
translation of Cordemoy's short Treatises on Metaphysics, which
were probably written soon after the Discourses, and extend his
discussion of mind-body union with consideration of human freedom
and happiness. The introduction provides a biographical and
historical context for Cordemoy's work and a study of his main
philosophical doctrines, including his influence on later thinkers
(such as Leibniz and Malebranche).
