Abstract:
1999 marks the three hundred and fifieth anniversary of the publication of Descrates' final work: Les Passions de l'Ame. This short paper commemorates that event and discusses the circumstances contributing to its origin and the questions which it still raises for neuropsychology three hundred and fifty years later.
