Abstract:Little is known about the shaping and development of Anne Conway's thought in relation to her early modern contemporaries. In one part of her only surviving treatise, The Principles, Conway criticises "those doctors" who uphold a dualist theory of soul and body, a mechanist conception of body (as dead and inert), and the view that the soul is "intimately present" in the body. In this paper, I argue that here she targets Walter Charleton, a well-known defender of Epicurean atomism in mid-seventeenth-century England. My intention is to highlight the sophistication of Conway's theory of soul-body relations vis-a-vis that of Charleton.

康威和查尔顿关于灵魂在身体中的亲密存在

摘要：关于安妮·康威的思想相对于她早期的现代同时代人的形成和发展知之甚少。在她唯一幸存的论文《原则》的一部分中，康威批评“那些医生”，他们坚持灵魂和身体的二元论、身体的机械论概念（如死的和惰性的），以及灵魂“亲密地存在”的观点“ 在身体里。在这篇论文中，我认为她在这里的目标是沃尔特·查尔顿（Walter Charleton），他是 17 世纪中叶英国著名的伊壁鸠鲁原子论的捍卫者。我的意图是强调康威的灵魂-身体关系理论相对于查理顿的理论的复杂性。
