English summary: Francois Loth addresses the difficult causal relationship between the body and the mind. This metaphysical investigation calls on the ontology of particular properties, marking a rupture with Cartesian ontology and the contemporary theory of non-reductionist physicalism. French description: Le corps et lesprit nous apparaissent comme deux entites bien distinctes qui pourtant interagissent. Il semble, en effet, que des evenements mentaux causent des evenements physiques et vice-versa. Toutefois, la nature de ces entites et de cette interaction pose probleme. Dans sa correspondance avec Descartes, la princesse Elisabeth se demande comment un evenement immateriel pourrait-il bien affecter un evenement materie? Depuis ce XVIIIe siecle jusqua aujourdhui, en depit de la riche moisson de resultats engrangee par les sciences qui ont pour objet lesprit, la relation entre le corps et lesprit demeure un probleme epineux. Ce livre cherche a rendre compte du lien causal entre le monde physique et le pouvoir de notre esprit. Lenquete metaphysique, inscrite dans un cadre physicaliste, propose une solution au probleme de la causalite mentale. Cette solution, qui fait appel a lontologie des proprietes particulieres ou tropes, signe une rupture a la fois avec lontologie cartesienne et avec la these contemporaine du physicalisme non reductionniste.
