Per affectum intelligo corporis affectiones quibus ipsius corporis agendi potentia augetur vel minuitur, juvatur vel cœrcetur et simul harum affectionum ideas.
Si itaque alicujus harum affectionum adæquata possimus esse causa, tum per affectum actionem intelligo, alias passionem.
By Hartstocht versta ik d' aandoeningen des lighaams, door de welken des lighaams vermogen van te werken vermeerdert of vermindert, geholpen, of ingetoomt word, en gezamentlijk de denkbeelden dezer aandoeningen.
Indien wy dan d' evenmatige oorzaak van enige dezer aandoeningen konnen wezen, zo versta ik by hartstocht doening; andersins lijdingen.
By emotion I mean the modifications of the body, whereby the active power of the said body is increased or diminished, aided or constrained, and also the ideas of such modifications.
N.B. If we can be the adequate cause of any of these modifications, I then call the emotion an activity, otherwise I call it a passion, or state wherein the mind is passive.
