摘要:In this paper I would like to present the concept of generosity as the main element for understanding the Cartesian moral. I think the concept of generosity can to articulate the different passions humility, friendship and love in the same conceptual network (in a moral philosophy). I think Descartes’s project is to put on a same level reason and passion for determine the best form of human conduct. This characterization of generosity allows me to associate the Cartesian ethics of care. I believe, at least, the generosity can be understood as an affective disposition to care.
