Et afin que notre �me ait ainsi de quoi �tre contente, elle n’a besoin que de suivre exactement la vertu. Car quiconque a v�cu une telle sorte que sa conscience ne peut lui reprocher qu’il n’ait jamais manqu� � faire toutes les choses qu’il a jug�es �tre les meilleures (qui est ce que je nomme ici suivre la vertu), il en re�oit une satisfaction qui est si puissante pour le rendre heureux, que les plus violents efforts des passions n’ont jamais assez de pouvoir pour troubler la tranquillit� de son �me.

Ren� Descartes.Dernier ouvrage publi� par Descartes de son vivant, Les Passions de l’�me (1649) peut faire figure de testament philosophique. On y trouve, en effet, une s�rie de r�flexions qui viennent approfondir, pr�ciser, parfois m�me rectifier les th�ses du philosophe sur des points essentiels de sa recherche, en particulier l’�laboration de sa propre morale. La libert�, les rapports de l’�me et du corps, l’affirmation d’un individu moral : tels sont encore, parmi d’autres, les sujets abord�s.

About the Author

Ren? Descartes, known as the Father of Modern Philosophy and inventor of Cartesian coordinates, was a seventeenth century French philosopher, mathematician, and writer. Descartes made significant contributions to the fields of philosophy and mathematics, and was a proponent of rationalism, believing strongly in fact and deductive reasoning. Working in both French and Latin, he wrote many mathematical and philosophical works including The World, Discourse on a Method, Meditations on First Philosophy, and Passions of the Soul. He is perhaps best known for originating the statement I think, therefore I am.
