Le concept de disposition chez Spinoza


La croisée des chemins



The Intelligence of Practice
The Concept of Disposition in Spinoza

If everyone has the power to live according to the guidance of reason, how is it that so few follow it, even though so many claim they do? Some see the best and do the worst, whereas others do the worst believing it is the best. All do everything they can and finally rejoice over what they are. The philosophy of Spinoza explains this human condition. All power is actual. He who can do the most cannot do less, and he who can do the least does so willingly, but cannot do more. Everyone is as perfect as they can be and acts the way they are disposed to, despite themselves, but readily. The concept of disposition, as it is developed in the Ethics, enables us to grasp the common practice of humans in a necessitarist and actualist context, from affective inconsistency to the regularity of habits, from passionate obsessions to education and emancipation. Human existence is not a comedy, even less a tragedy. With Spinoza, it has to be understood.

Un étrange objet
A strange object
La croisée des chemins
For more than sixty years, Deligny has built a body of work around children on the fringes. A work that inextricably links theory and practice, opportunities and attempts, writing and cinema. By a thought of both the immutable and the circumstantial; by a look that turns out – in an unusual sense – to be deeply and differently political.

Matérialisme et passions
La croisée des chemins
Modernity, from its origins, has accorded a key role to passions. Whether hostile to Reason or, on the contrary, favourable towards it, passions are dangerous and fascinating and bring out the role of the body, desire, language and the imagination in human nature.

Matériaux du spinozisme
Materials of Spinozism
This dossier analyses how Spinoza reshapes the legacy of different traditions. For him, these legacies are in fact materials to be reworked: how does the Spinozist system deal with the classic questions of suicide, historical experience, divine omnipotence and human finitude?

À la croisée des interprétations
At the Crossroads of Interpretations
La croisée des chemins
The relationship between Spinoza's and Malebranche's philosophies has rarely been approached head-on in a speculative comparison which explores both the ontology and theory of knowledge and ethics and politics. This book offers new research on this subject.

Lectures de Michel Foucault
3. Sur les Dits et écrits
3. Sur les "Dits et écrits"
This volume is undoubtedly one of the first works to address the multitude of revisions, explanations and insights collected together in Michel Foucault's Dits et écrits, in 1994. How should one read this survey, which also provides frequent off-the-cuff commentary on the intellectual activity of Michel Foucault ?

Lire le matérialisme
Reading Materialism
La croisée des chemins
These essays focus on the problem of materialism in the history of philosophy, in different contexts, some classic, some less so (mind-body relations, the status of the brain, the issue of atheism, but also, dreams, embodiment; laughter and the emergence of a "new materialism" in contemporary thought)
