La relación de voluntad y entendimiento en la modernidad temprana: una clave antropológica para la teoría y la praxis

Abstract: RESUMEN. El artículo indaga en dos tradiciones filosóficas, la primera enfatiza la importancia de la voluntad y la segunda prefiere el entendimiento. Estas opciones antropológicas son decisivas para explicar otras cuestiones (Dios, conocimiento, ética, naturaleza e historia), y tiene también muchas consecuencias prácticas. Después de una exposición genealógica, estudiamos los casos de Leibniz y Spinoza porque unifican ambas dimensiones pero de manera distinta.Palabras clave: entendimiento; voluntad; filosofía … Show more

“…According to Descartes, the strength of the passions over the mind is a purely bodily issue (Macherey, 1999, p. 101): some physiologies are such that passions exert force over the pineal gland (where mind and body communicate) with particular strength; this presents a challenge to the will, which should exert itself to regain control over the supple and moveable pineal gland (Macherey, 1999, p. 106). For all his rationalism, Descartes gives primacy to the will in guaranteeing correct thought and action (Espinosa, 2015, pp. 548–550): it is ultimately the job of the will to enforce the dictates of reason upon the body.…”

“…548–550): it is ultimately the job of the will to enforce the dictates of reason upon the body. For Spinoza, there is no such thing as a will independent of the interaction of the ideas of the mind (Espinosa, 2015, pp. 61–63); rather, ideas in the mind have their own conatus and give strength to this or that decision through association with compatible ideas that push in the same direction (Macherey, 1999, p. 98); the control of harmful affects is therefore dependent chiefly on the quality and quantity of ideas on the mind rather than on willpower, which is an ens rationis on this account.…”
