This volume emphasizes the diversity and fruitfulness of early
modern mechanism as a program, as a concept, as a model.
Mechanistic study of the living body but also of the mind and
mental processes are examined in careful historical focus, dealing
with figures ranging from the first-rank (Bacon, Descartes,
Spinoza, Cudworth, Gassendi, Locke, Leibniz, Kant) to less
well-known individuals (Scaliger, Martini) or prominent natural
philosophers who have been neglected in recent years (Willis,
Steno, etc.). The volume moves from early modern medicine and
physiology to late Enlightenment and even early 19th-century
psychology, always maintaining a conceptual focus. It is a
contribution to a newly active field in the history and philosophy
of early modern life science. It is of interest to scholars
studying the history of medicine and the development of mechanistic
theories.
