Experience and the matter of mind : dualism, classicism, and the myth of the modern subject in seventeenth-century France -- Front matter : placing Descartes's Meditations -- A state of mind : embodying the sovereign in Poussin's The judgment of Solomon -- The witch from Colchis : Corneille's Medee, Chimene's Le Cid, and the invention of classical genius -- Seeing is believing : image and Imaginaire in Moliere's Sganarelle -- The ghost in the machine : reason, faith, and experience in Pascalian apologetics -- Des mots sans fin : meaning and the end(s) of history in Boileau's Satire XII, 'Sur l'equivoque'. 330 $aThe Matter of Mind presents studies drawn from a range of disciplines and examines the paintings of Nicolas Poussin, the drama of Pierre Corneille, and the theology of Blaise Pascal. Braider argues that if early modern thought converged on a single model, then it was the experimental picture based on everyday experience proposed by Descartes' sceptical adversary, Michel de Montaigne. Forceful and provocative, The Matter of Mind will encourage lively debate on the norms and discourses of seventeenth-century philosophy."--Publishers description. 330 $a"What influence did Rene Descartes' concept of mind-body dualism have on early modern conceptions of the self? In The Matter of Mind, Christopher Braider challenges the presumed centrality of Descartes' groundbreaking theory to seventeenth-century French culture. He details the broad opposition to rational self-government among Descartes' contemporaries, and attributes conventional links between Descartes and the myth of the 'modern subject' to post-structuralist assessments. 606 $aFrench literature$y17th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aExperience in literature 606 $aReason in literature 607 $aFrance$xIntellectual life$y17th century 615 0$aFrench literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aExperience in literature. 615 0$aReason in literature. 676 $a840.9/38409032 686 $a5,1$2ssgn 686 $aCF 1200$2rvk 700 $aBraider$b Christopher$f1950-$0248008 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807033003321 996 $aThe matter of mind$93935633 997 $aUNINA
