Per affectum intelligo corporis affectiones quibus ipsius corporis agendi potentia augetur vel minuitur, juvatur vel coercetur et simul harum affectionum ideas. Si itaque alicujus harum affectionum adæquata possimus esse causa, tum per affectum actionem intelligo, alias passionem.
By affect I understand modifications of the body by which the power of the body acting is increased or diminished, or helped or compelled and the ideas of these modifications at the same time. If in such a way we are able to be the adequate cause of some of these modifications, then by affect I understand action, otherwise passion.
