Abstract

In his remarks on L'Homme, La Forge aims at a rigid separation of the functions of the body from the activity of the soul. This project looks authentically Cartesian, but some critical issues reveal how difficult it is taking away any activity of the soul in sensitive experience. In the Traite de l'esprit de l'homme, La Forge explicitly limits the cognitive capability of the memory without the active presence of the mind.
