Description Readers' comments
The article proposes a genesis of Eth III, pr. 2, schol. The first part aims to show the interpretative difficulties of Spinoza’s conception of physiology, trying to prove, following the most recent literature (Scribano), that his rejection is not clearly defined, and many passages and examples within this scholium reveal its cartesian origin. The second part aims to show the radicalization of the cartesian conception of the spontaneous movement of the body accomplished by Spinoza, which is marked by the total independence that he attributes to the body compared to the mind (against mind-body interaction), especially through the example of the sleepwalker. In this respect, the figure of the sleepwalker is emblematic, as well as the figure of the «awakewalker» – defined by Zourabichvili via Deleuze – which acts by dreaming with open eyes, proving the continuity between night dreams and daydreams, and the logical indistinction between sleep and wakefulness. keywords Spinoza, Descartes, Physiology, Sleepwalking, Free Will Author biography Université Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne - Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca.
