Soul Machine takes us back to the origins of modernity, a time when
a crisis in religious authority and the scientific revolution led
to searching questions about the nature of human inner life. This
is the story of how a new concept-the mind-emerged as a potential
solution, one that was part soul and part machine but fully
neither. George Makari shows how writers, philosophers, doctors and
anatomists worked to construct notions of the mind as not an
ethereal thing but a natural one. This became the basis of the mind
sciences, liberal politics, secular ethics and radically new
visions of the self, society, the ordering of knowledge and the
sources of unreason. Boldly original and synthetic, Soul Machine is
a masterful new history of the mind, madness and the emergence of
psychological man in the Western world.
