Experience in Descartes
I will focus on Anik Waldow’s reading of Descartes as contributing towards a specific form of human experience and the related capacity for self-determination. I discuss how this notion of experience relates to what is often taken to be the crux of Descartes’s Meditations. I conclude by noting that three elements are central to Waldow’s interpretation: Descartes’s intellectual metaphysical pursuit for epistemic certainty about essences of things,…
On the Standards of Conceptual Change
It is a necessary condition for recognising change that there is a yardstick against which the change can be perceived. The same applies to changes that philosophical concepts undergo. This paper delineates standards for recognising conceptual change that meet the requirements of conscientious history of philosophy. More particularly, we want to argue for the need of what we will call non-textual standards. These are features of the world of expe…
Locke and the metaphysics of “State of Sensibility”
John Locke operates within a roughly Cartesian metaphysical framework of substances and modes. But concerning thinking substances and their modes, Locke’s view presents a twist on Descartes’ model of individual thinking substance and the significance of experience of oneself as a continuously existing thing. Since an act of thinking is modification of a thinking substance, without a substance there could be no activity of thinking. But the relati…
L’attention dans la philosophie de l’esprit de John Locke
Dans cet article, j’examine la nature et le rôle de l’attention dans le cadre du parallélisme que Locke établit entre la sensation et la réflexion en tant qu’origines des idées. Je montre que le caractère volontaire n’est pas un élément nécessaire de l’attention pour Locke, et que porter attention à quelque chose n’est pas la même chose qu’en être conscient puisque la conscience d’une idée doit en précéder l’attention. Afin de pouvoir rendre comp…
Subjectivity as a Non-textual Standard of Interpretation in the History of Philosophical Psychology
Contemporary caution against anachronism in intellectual history, and the currently momentous theoretical emphasis on subjectivity in the philosophy of mind, are two prevailing conditions that set puzzling constraints for studies in the history of philosophical psychology. The former urges against assuming ideas, motives, and concepts that are alien to the historical intellectual setting under study, and combined with the latter suggests caution …
