Descartes' morals are often considered a marginal epiphenomenon not only with respect to his metaphysics, but also in regard to the ethical theories that preceded and followed it, that is, broadly Aristotle's eudaimonism, Kantian deontologism and Mill's utilitarianism.

Descartes, especially, was considered to be responsible for the division between empirically grounded philosophy, on the one hand, and rationalistic deduction from first principles, on the other.

In the last twenty or so years, there has been a trend, increasingly viable especially in the Anglophone world, in the study of Descartes towards regarding his intellectual milieu as a source of significant input for the understanding of his philosophical work. In this note, I wish to take account of one significant contribution to this trend, which is
