A new analysis of the mind/body relationship based on the
philosophy of SpinozaIt is widely recognised that Spinoza put an
end to the Cartesian dualism of body and mind by thinking through
the possibility of their unity. Revisiting this generally accepted
notion of psychophysical parallelism in Spinoza, Chantal Jaquet
offers a new analysis of the relation between body and mind. 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.Looking at a range of Spinoza's texts, 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.Key
