1. > What Does "of" Mean in Descartes's Expr ession, "the Passions *of* the Soul"?
Theoretical move: The passage pivots on the ambiguity in Descartes's distinction between passions "in" vs. "of" the soul to pose a constitutive theoretical question: whether affect is fundamentally an autoaffective structure (the soul's self-relation) or whether it names a paradoxical unity-in-difference between body and soul, anticipating the Lacanian problematic of extimacy.
does it mean that the structural definition of affect is the autoaffected structure?
