“Ignorant and intractable”
Depicting herself, in the correspondence with Descartes, as an “ignorant and intractable” woman, Elisabeth, Princess of Bohemia, places a high priority on the body — a body that is at once, as a source of ignorance, an obstacle to the philosophical process, and, as a reality that resists theory, an...

She thus obliges the philosopher to move from a consideration of the metaphysical ego toward a consideration of the human being who will become the subject of The Passions of the Soul. En faisant d'elle-même, dans sa correspondance avec Descartes, un portrait en femme « ignorante et indocile », la princesse Élisabeth y fait valoir l'expérience de son corps à la fois comme obstacle à la démarche philosophique en tant que facteur d’ignorance, et comme incontournable défi pour cette même démarche, en tant que réalité résistant à la théorie. Ses questions conduiront Descartes à repenser l’articulation de l’âme et du corps à partir de leur union dans la personne humaine, ce dont témoigneront Les passions de l’âme. |

| description |
Depicting herself, in the correspondence with Descartes, as an “ignorant and intractable” woman, Elisabeth, Princess of Bohemia, places a high priority on the body — a body that is at once, as a source of ignorance, an obstacle to the philosophical process, and, as a reality that resists theory, an unavoidable challenge to this same process. She thus obliges the philosopher to move from a consideration of the metaphysical ego toward a consideration of the human being who will become the subject of The Passions of the Soul. |
