“…12-13), Leman states that " [a] way to proceed is based on the idea that action may play a key role in mediation processes between the mental and the physical world" (p. 14). In assuming this ontological separation, the author actually follows Descartes (1641Descartes ( /1984, who considered immaterial mind and the material body as two distinct substances (Rozemond, 2002; see also Hart, 1996, for an overview of modern discussions on dualism). Among the main theoretical models proposed to overcome the difficulties raised by the Cartesian dichotomy (how are mental events and physical events linked?…”

“…Such a dichotomised perspective represents a core paradigm guiding Western thought. Descartes is one of the most infl uential scholars supporting the distinction of self and other as two entirely separate and contradictory entities (Rozemond 1998 ). A case in point in psychoanalysis is Freud's theory on narcissism, centred on the infants' tendency to direct libido towards their own person (primary narcissism), subsequently diverting it towards other objects.…”

This chapter aims at providing a brief overview of the prominent conceptualisations of altruism, a construct widely debated from various theoretical perspectives, ranging from evolutionary biology to social psychology, philosophy and -more recentlypositive psychology, but still controversial in its defi nition and role in human affairs. Moving from the current scientifi c debate, as well as delving into Western and Eastern philosophical and spiritual traditions, we attempt to build an integrated approach to the study of altruism based on the view of a substantial interconnectedness among individuals, rather than on the juxtaposition between altruism and selfi shness. Within this model, altruism is defi ned as a general mind-set, characterised by a concern for others' welfare that implies a readiness to engage in other-oriented behaviours, bringing welfare to the agent as well. Altruism's behavioural outcomes, benefi ts and dangers, as well as the challenges people and communities face in cultivating and promoting an altruistic mind-set are briefl y outlined. Conceptualising Altruism: The State of the ArtWhat is altruism? This apparently simple question does not seem to have an indisputable answer. Altruism remains an elusive concept, even though it has been extensively explored within human sciences, such as philosophy, religion and ethics

“…Esta noción de unión sería la que permitiría explicar un fenómeno como el de la percepción sensible, en el cual se hallan implicados tanto modos de la extensión como modos del pensamiento. M. Rozemond (1998), J. Cottingham (1985) o R. Richardson (1982) serían ejemplos de este segundo tipo de lectura.…”

Resumen / AbstractMerleau-Ponty como lector tenaz y riguroso del corpus cartesiano fue especialmente sensible a sus ambigüedades. Por un lado, el intelectualismo de la teoría cartesiana de la percepción (Dioptrique) es subsidiario de una fisiología mecanicista (Traité de l'Homme) y del dualismo sustancial de las primeras Méditations Métaphysiques. Por otro, Descartes siempre insistió en el hilemorfismo, composición, permixtio e incluso unión de las dos sustancias. Así, el cuerpo humano se hace depositario de propiedades peculiares tales como el ensamblaje, la indivisibilidad y el interés biológico en conservarse, lo que parece introducir cierta teleología en una parte de la extensión.PalabRas clave: Merleau-Ponty, Descartes, fenomenología, corporalidad, percepción, cogito, mecanicismo.
