At the international conference Colloque international Cordemoy à l’occasion du 400e anniversaire de sa naissance (1626-2026), held on June 12–13, 2026, CCEA researcher Mihnea Dobre delivered a paper titled “Cordemoy’s piecemeal Cartesianism: Le discernement.” Hosted by Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne to mark the quadricentennial of Géraud de Cordemoy’s birth, the event gathered scholars to re-evaluate the philosopher’s historical and conceptual legacy. Mihnea Dobre’s presentation focused on Cordemoy’s selective adoption of Cartesian principles, examining his methodological framework in Le discernement du corps et de l’âme and its broader implications for early modern metaphysics and mind-body interaction.
