| German commentary | "The meaas of expositionn and the content of Descartes' Traité de l'homme and Spinoza's Physical Interlude are quite dissimilar... I propose in this paper to explain the dissimilarity between these two texts by their taking root in different philosophical plans. Spinoza's Physical Interlude takes place in a book which has ethical aims; it induces Spinoza to regard physical attitudes of human bodies as conditions of the possibility of an ethics progression" (Abstract, p. 237). |
