Teaching philosophy of mind as philosophy of education
In this paper, I offer a suggestion for incorporating a set of texts in philosophy of mind, written by or about women, that concern how we can improve or emend our understanding, or philosophy of education. These texts challenge a current assumption in philosophy of mind – that the human mind comes fully formed – while also demonstrating the social nature of human cognitive development, challenging more individualist accounts. These texts and the…
Canon, genre et historiographie
Pour changer le canon philosophique, on doit premièrement exposer les présuppositions tacites qu’un canon philosophique comporte et considérer la manière dont les femmes ont été exclues de l’histoire de la philosophie au xixe siècle. Pour réussir à corriger l’injustice qui consiste à exclure les femmes de l’histoire intellectuelle européenne, et pour rendre nos histoires de la philosophie plus inclusives, nous devons passer à un canon structuré p…
Pleasure
This book challenges received views about pleasures as principally motivating of action, themselves unanalyzable, caused, rather than responsive to reasons, and perhaps because of that, antithetical to rationality by looking to the history of philosophical accounts of pleasure. The book begins by showing how Plato, Aristotle, early Islamic philosophers, and philosophers in the medieval Latin tradition, such as Aquinas, honed in on the challenge u…
Reflection
This short Reflection considers the question of how music has the ability to elicit pleasure in its listeners. Although some early modern aesthetic theorists held music low in their estimations because of its perceived lack of mimetic capabilities, later eighteenth-century thinkers took music’s indefinite signification to be its greatest virtue. For critics like Dennis Diderot and Christian Goffried Krause, the difficulty of following and interpr…
Cartesian selves
In the third Meditation, Descartes sketches a pre-critical conception of sensory cognition, that is, the conception of the senses that he takes the meditator to have entered the Meditations with. In the Sixth Meditation he presents his own theory of the senses. The thought that sensory ideas resemble things located outside of the author falls out of an Aristotelian picture of cognition. Descartes presents the belief in resemblance as a naïve comm…

Descartes's Ethics
Descartes's Passions of the Soul
While Descartes's Passions of the Soul has been taken to hold a place in the history to human physiology, until recently philosophers have neglected the work. In this research summary, I set Descartes's last published work in context and then sketch out its philosophical significance. From it, we gain further insight into Descartes's solution to the Mind-Body Problem - that is, to the problem of the ontological status of the mind-body union in a …
