Contents:
The delay of interpretations. The existence of material things or the "scandal of philosophy" ; The Sixth Meditation as aporia ; Kant's critique ; Three weaknesses in the demonstration of the existence of material things ; The historical confirmation of the "scandal" by Descartes' successors ; A critique of Kant's critique -- Bodies and my flesh. A new distinction ; Arcte, "very closely" ; Meum corpus: the Husserlian moment ; In/commoda: the Heideggerian moment ; A revision of the existence of material things -- The indubitable and the unnoticed. Indecisiveness (1632) and confusion ; The finally indubitable flesh ; A doubtful doubting ; Recapitulation and confirmations of the flesh ; The modalities of the cogito and the privilege of passivity -- The third primitive notion. From simple natures to primitive notions ; The third is the first ; The ontic paradoxes ; The epistemological paradox ; Meum corpus and the exception -- Union and unity. The question of exception in the replies ; Regius and the ens per accidens ; The ens per se, Suarez, and Descartes ; The sole substantial form ; The substantial union without third substance -- Passion and passivity. From action and passion to cause ; To think passively, or thought as passion ; All that the soul senses ; Generosity, or the will as passion ; Virtue and passion -- Conclusion. Descartes' advance.
Summary: 'On Descartes' Passive Thought' is the culmination of a life-long reflection on the philosophy of Descartes by one of the most important living French philosophers. In it, Jean-Luc Marion examines anew some of the questions left unresolved in his previous books about Descartes, with a particular focus on Descartes's theory of morals and the passions. Descartes has long been associated with mind-body dualism, but Marion argues here that this a historical misattribution, popularized by Malebranche and popular ever since both within the academy and with the general public.
