Post Descartes: What books?

I recently ran across a couple of quotes from Descartes, and liked them. They related to society and moral development. Anyone know which books he wrote on this subject?

Dark Jedi,

Although I haven't read the text myself, I suspect that the quotations you mention are from Descartes' Les passions de l’âme (The Passions of the Soul), which deals on morals and philosophical psychology. (More or less the only book of his that does.) It is included in volume 1 of The Philosophical Writings of Descartes, ed. and trans. J. Cottingham, R. Stoothoff, D. Murdoch and A. Kenny.

I hope this helps.
