Geometry of the Passions investigates the paradoxical conflict-collaboration between passions and reason, and between individual and political projects. Tracing the roles passion and reason have played throughout history, including in the political agendas of Descartes, Hobbes, and the French Jacobins, \u003ci\u003eGeometry of the Passions\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how passion and reason may be used as a vehicle for affirmation rather than self-enslavement. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINTRODUCTION TO THE ENGLISH TRANSLATION by Remo Bodei  INTRODUCTION   PART 1: PASSIONS OF EXPECTATION   1 The Disorder of the Passions 2 Hope and Fear 3 Hobbes: Politics and Fear 4 Evil Because Unhappy 5 Amor mortis 6 Vanitas 7 Fear and Rejection 8 The Lynx and the Cuttlefish 9 Superstition   PART 2: THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF WILL   Section 1: Consistency and Self-Control 1 Itineraries, Deviations, and Crossroads 2 Persuasion and Toughness 3 Consistency and Constancy 4 Fear and Delusion 5 Constancy: Neostoicism and Justus Lipsius 6 Rationalizing Hope   Section 2: Descartes, or the Good Use of the Passions 1 Masters of Themselves 2 Will and Joy 3 The Key to All Virtues 4 Medicine of the Passions   PART 3: THE GRAMMAR OF LOVE   1 Transitions 2 Loving without Being Loved   PART 4: THE GREAT HOPE   Section 1: Terror and Virtue 1 The Form of the Future 2 The Despotism of Liberty 3 Between Hope and Fear   Section 2: The Invisible Sovereign 1 Homo ideologicus   Section 3: Heaven on Earth 1 Reason in Myth   ABBREVIATIONS   INDEX","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53187719627095,"sku":"9781487503369","price":82.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/geometry-of-the-passions-9781487503369","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
