Description
Dans cette œuvre, Descartes se concentre sur la question des passions. Il s’agit donc d’un traité de philosophie morale, le dernier domaine de la philosophie abordé par Descartes. Celui-ci s’inscrit, avec cet ouvrage, dans la tradition de la réflexion philosophique sur les passions, tout en abordant ces dernières d’un point de vue physiologique novateur car précurseur de la neurophysiologie. Ce traité est aussi l’occasion pour Descartes d’éclaircir plusieurs problèmes qu’il avait posés dans ses précédents ouvrages. Ainsi, concernant le problème de l’interaction corps-esprit, il propose dans cet ouvrage des théories sur les « esprits-animaux » et le rôle selon lui central de la glande pinéale (ou épiphyse), établissant un lien entre les émotions humaines et la chimie du corps. Par ailleurs, concernant la théorie de l’action, Descartes présente une philosophie morale plus aboutie que les règles provisoires qu’il avait ébauchées dans les Discours de la méthode, et fondée sur la connaissance des lois physiologiques.
