Resumen
RODRIGUEZ, Sergio García. Habit and autonomy of the subject: the Cartesian health preservation through diet. Prax. filos. [online]. 2017, n.44, pp.147-167. ISSN 0120-4688.
“Maintenance of health” has embodied the axis on which have been articulated and evaluated the contributions of Descartes to medicine. Scholars have been centred on the Cartesian therapeutic for diseases, ignoring other dimensions which the Cartesian medical project also studied. Thus, this article affirms the existence of a second sense of conservation of health understood as “health preservation”, analyzing the Cartesian diet, which prevents ―according to Descartes― the contraction of different diseases. That examination seeks to show in which way the diet allows the preservation of health, and how it is justified by appealing to the Cartesian physiology.
Palabras clave : autonomy; diet; habit; maintenance of health; Cartesian medicine.
