摘要

尼古拉斯·马勒布兰奇（1638-1715）认为，感觉、想象和激情服务于身体的需要。在这篇论文中，我通过将激情置于马勒布兰奇对普通身体行为的描述中，来解释激情是如何让我们活着的。Malebranche持有一种基于同意的行为观。代理人只有在她同意的情况下才把她的倾向或动机转化为行动。激情通过帮助行为人缩小意愿和行动之间的差距而有助于保存生命。根据Malebranche的说法，激情是一种复杂的心理生理现象，它的各种因素——知觉、注意力的转移、评价、身体准备、感觉等等——共同作用，引起行动者的同意。

How To Eat a Peach: Malebranche on the Function of the Passions

Nicolas Malebranche (1638-1715) holds that the senses, imagination, and passions serve the body’s needs. In this paper, I explain how the passions keep us alive by situating them in Malebranche’s account of ordinary bodily action. Malebranche holds a consent-based view of action. An agent translates her inclinations or motives into action only when she consents to them. The passions contribute to the preservation of life by helping the agent close the gap between inclination and action. The passions, according to Malebranche, are complex psychophysiological phenomena whose various elements—perceptions, shifts of attention, evaluations, bodily preparation, feelings, and so on—work together to elicit the agent’s consent.
