Abstract:
La interpretación de la moral cartesiana ha tendido a centrarse en la noción de beatitud, consecuencia del correcto ejercicio de la virtud. En este sentido, los bienes espirituales han suprimido la función que los bienes terrenales poseen en la propuesta de Descartes. El presente artículo cuestiona esa lectura, destacando el importante papel que los bienes terrenales juegan en la consecución de una buena vida, mostrando la dimensión activa del sujeto cartesiano.

Este artigo analisa alguns aspectos da moral cartesiana. Num primeiro momento, investiga-se como a expressão moral provisória é equivocada e como a moral do Discurso é retomada na Correspondência. Num segundo momento, é interessante a compreensão da nova significação que Descartes fornece ao termo paixões. Enfim, mostra-se como a moral se insere, paulatinamente, na filosofia de Descartes.

O objetivo do meu artigo consiste em apresentar o conceito de generosidade como principal vetor para compreensão da moral cartesiana. Meu ponto éque esse conceito consegue, por um lado, articular diferentes paixões como humildade, amizade e amor numa mesma rede conceitual com o foco num projeto moral comum e, por outro, ele permite mostrar como Descartes articula num mesmo patamar razão e paixão para determinar a melhor forma de conduta humana. Com essa caracterização da generosidade acredito que é possível associar a ética cartesiana às preocupações da ética do cuidado, pelo menos, no sentido

Full text
Abstract:
Chapter 4 uses Clauberg’s theory of the mind–body union to show how a Cartesian thinker could respond to perceived problems with Descartes’ interactionism without adopting occasionalism. Section 4.1 presents Clauberg’s theory, according to which the mind is a “moral cause” of motions in the body, and corporal motions are “procatarctic causes” of ideas in the mind. Section 4.2 shows how Clauberg reconciles this account with the causal principles that “an effect may not be more noble than its cause,” and that a cause must formally or eminently contain whatever it brings about in its effect. Section 4.3 argues that Clauberg takes moral and procatarctic causes to be types of efficient causes. This is consistent with a broad conception of efficient causation, which section 4.4 argues Clauberg came to hold by the 1660s. The position that emerges thus represents an alternative to that of Cartesian occasionalists, such as Geulincx and Malebranche.

Abstract:
Nietzsche’s writing and thought about the mind challenge some of the same Cartesian dichotomies that the more recent frameworks of 4E and distributed cognition do. Zur Genealogie der Moral (On the Genealogy of Morals), a highpoint in Nietzsche’s project of the ‘Umwertung aller Werte’ (revaluation of all values), is a proclamation of perspectivism: there is no objective perception and nothing objectively to be perceived, only perspectives on objects. This thesis is expressed through evocations of space and movement that, the chapter argues, promote and depend on readerly cognition in which embodied and enactive imagining is central. In these same passages, however, the equivocations underlying the whole perspectivist enterprise are exposed: the supposed discovery of a new extra-textual moral reality through philosophical agility is undermined by rhetorical structures that turn out to merely simulate movement, and so ask readers’ imaginations not to be too enactive. This equivocation has important consequences for readers’ engagement with the interplay of rhetorical form and conceptual content. Cognitive analysis thus gets us to the heart of a grand paradox of Nietzschean philosophy – absolute assertion of the relativity of language – while also shedding light on current questions about action-based distributed cognition as an intellectual force.

Full text
Abstract:
Cartesian dualism and the union of mind and body are often understood as conceptions that contradict each other. Diachronic interpretations maintain that Descartes was first a dualist (in the Meditations) and later on developed his stance on the union of mind and body (Passions). Some authors find here a problem without solution. Nevertheless, in the last two decades, some interpretations have been developed intending to give a positive solution to the difficult relation between Cartesian dualism and the union of mind and body. The problem that I find in most of them is that they try to show no incoherence between Descartes' dualism and his conception of the union and interaction by "weakening" or making more "flexible" the dualist doctrine. I develop a synchronic interpretation, based on textual evidence, in order to show that dualism and union appeared simultaneously in Descartes' works. Under this perspective, my claim is that Cartesian radical dualism and the union of mind and body can be coherently understood only because they belong to different domains of knowledge. Thought and matter are clear and distinct primitive notions that come from reason, whose role is laying the foundations for Cartesian metaphysics and physics, while the primitive notion of union is acquired by the senses and lacks clarity and distinction even while it serves the objective of founding Descartes' moral philosophy.

Abstract:
Chapter 5 shows how Geulincx uses occasionalism to develop a virtue ethics that is consistent with both Cartesian metaphysics and Christian teaching. Section 5.1 surveys Geulincx’s main arguments for occasionalism, and argues that Geulincx did not see occasionalism as providing an explanation of mind–body interaction. Section 5.2 focuses on an underlying assumption of one of Geulincx’s arguments, namely the principle, “Quod nescis quomodo fiat, id non facis.” Section 5.2 argues that Geulincx takes this principle to be self-evident (and not justified on the basis of an underlying theory of causation, on which all agency is volitional). Section 5.3 shows how Geulincx took this principle to cohere with Cartesianism, and explains the role of occasionalism in his account of the virtue of humility. Section 5.4 concludes that Geulincx uses occasionalism to defend the compatibility of Cartesian metaphysics with Christian theology, and to supplement Cartesianism with a theory of moral virtue.

This chapter examines contemplation and control in Cartesian philosophy and sets out some of the Platonic strands in Descartes’ cosmology, metaphysics and moral theory.

It considers the tension between Descartes’ natural philosophy and account of physical law and suggests that these two mindsets represent a certain opposition within people’s thinking that still needs a resolution.

But the chapter also briefly addresses some cases in which neo-positivists endorse scientistic views, rather than non-factualist views, of the central controversial subquestions—e.g., questions about libertarian free will, non-Humean causation, Lewisian possible worlds, and immaterial Cartesian souls.

Abstract:
This chapter considers Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz who devoted his philosophic and scientific career to harmonizing discordances and unifying disparities, calculating the otherwise incalculable and reconciling the seemingly unreconciliable. The universalizing thrust of Leibniz's thinking is of a piece both with his ecumenism and with his moral and political views. The Cartesian who rejects phenomena as false simply because they can be doubted lacks the courage to face conflicts that may arise within any aspect of human experience. Instead, Leibniz refused to be daunted by uncertainty. In this regard, he should be numbered among those seventeenth-century theoreticians of probability like Pierre de Fermat, Blaise Pascal, and Jakob Bernoulli, who strove to develop models of rational judgment and action in the face of grave uncertainty.

Abstract:
Against a growing consensus that Descartes was a closet monist committed to the idea that the divisions between bodies were either modal or phenomenal, this chapter argues that Descartes held to the doctrine of actual parts and real distinctions within a plurality of extended substances. Four arguments for the monistic reading are addressed and arguments both textual and conceptual advanced for a pluralist reading. These four arguments for monism are: the argument from the incoherence of infinitely divisible substances; the argument from the absence of substantial forms; the argument against individuation by motion; and the argument from the unreality of motion. Contrary to this trend, we argue that if the concept of body is to serve the purposes of a finite Cartesian physics, there had better be real divisions between individual bodies or extended substances. Alternative interpretations of those passages which seem to suggest otherwise are advanced.

Flexibility of the beams is simulated using the modal approach. Thus, each beam has at least twelve degrees of freedom: six coordinates define position and orientation of a local frame and six modes are used for modeling

Abstract The inertia projection schemes used in the existing recursive methods for the dynamic analysis of flexible multibody systems lead to dense coefficient matrices in the acceleration equations. Consequently, there is a strong dynamic coupling between the joint and modal coordinates. When the number of modal degrees of freedom increases, the size of the coefficient matrix in the acceleration equations becomes large and consequently the use of these recursive methods for solving the joint and modal accelerations becomes less efficient. This investigation discusses the problems associated w

Abstract:
This paper presented multi-objective optimization of tip tracking control for non-collocated flexible beam. The desired trajectory is specified at the tip displacement of the flexible structure, which undergoes translation base motion actuated by a linear motor. The system model is first formulated from modal truncation approach for the flexible structure representing a single Cartesian robot manipulator. The linear system model of the flexible structure always has structural uncertainties. Robust stability and robust performance on tip tracking can be expressed as H2/H∞ norm constraints, whic

Abstract:
Experiments with a flexible and submerged cylinder were carried out to investigate fundamental aspects of risers dynamics subjected to harmonic excitation at the top. The flexible model was designed aiming a high level of dynamic similarity with a real riser. Vertical motion, with amplitude of 1% of the unstretched length, was imposed with a device driven by a servomotor. Four values of the ratio between the exciting frequencies and the first eigenfrequency were investigated, namely ft: fN,1 = 1 : 3; 1 : 1; 2 : 1 and 3 : 1. Cartesian coordinates of 43 monitored points positioned all along the

Abstract:
Abstract This paper deals with the formulation that can analyze vibration noise problems practically in the flexible multibody systems. Many kinds of formulations have been proposed on the flexible multibody systems so far. They are categorized into several groups according to their purposes and coordinate systems. The floating frame of reference formulation is at present the most popular method for general purpose simulations among them. The formulation uses Cartesian coordinates for the position of a body, Euler angles or Euler parameters for the orientations, and modal coordinates for the e
