This book was released on 2016-06-06 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Julien Offray de La Mettrie (November 23, 1709 - November 11, 1751) was a French physician and philosopher, and one of the earliest of the French materialists of the Enlightenment. He is best known for his work L'homme machine (published in this edition as "Man a Machine" but also published under the titles "Machine Man" and "The Human Mechanism"). This translation is the work of several hands. It is founded on a version made by Miss Gertrude C. Bussey (from the French text in the edition of J. Assezat) and has been revised by Professor M. W. Calkins who is responsible for it in its present form. Mademoiselle M. Carret, of the Wellesley College department of French, and Professor George Santayana, of Harvard University, have given valued assistance; and this opportunity is taken to acknowledge their kindness in solving the problems of interpretation which have been submitted to them. It should be added that the translation sometimes subordinates the claims of English structure and style in the effort to render La Mettrie's meaning exactly. The philosophical and historical Notes are condensed and adapted from a master's thesis on La Mettrie presented by Miss Bussey to the faculty of Wellesley College.

Book excerpt: Man a Machine by Julien Offray de La Mettrie: Explore the fascinating intersection of philosophy and science in Man a Machine by Julien Offray de La Mettrie. This thought-provoking work delves into the nature of human beings, examining the idea of humans as complex machines governed by biological and physiological processes. Key Aspects of the Book “Man a Machine”: Challenges traditional notions of human nature and consciousness, proposing a mechanistic view of human beings. Explores the relationship between mind and body, discussing the interconnectedness of physical and mental processes. Raises philosophical questions about free will, determinism, and the implications of viewing humans as machines. Julien Offray de La Mettrie, an audacious French physician and philosopher of the 18th century, challenged conventional thinking with his provocative writings. La Mettrie's most notable work, L'Homme Machine (Man a Machine), presented a materialistic view of human nature, arguing that human beings were complex machines governed by physical and physiological processes. This controversial perspective sparked intense debates and made La Mettrie a polarizing figure in intellectual circles. His bold exploration of the relationship between mind and body laid the groundwork for later philosophical and scientific inquiries.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Man a Machine: Including Frederick the Great's "Eulogy" On La Mettrie and Extracts From La Mettrie's "the Natural History of the Soul" The French text presented in this volume is taken from that of a Leyden edition of 1748, in other words, from that of an edition published in the year and in the place of issue of the first edition. The title page of this edition is reproduced in the present volume. The original was evidently the work of a Dutch compositor unschooled in the French language, and is full of imperfections, inconsistencies, and grammatical blunders. By the direction of the publishers these obviously typographical blunders have been corrected by M. Lucien Arreat of Paris. The translation is the work of several hands. It is founded on a version made by Miss Gertrude C. Bussey (from the French text in the edition of J. Assezat) and has been revised by Professor M. W. Calkins who is responsible for it in its present form. Mademoiselle M. Carret, of the Wellesley College department of French, and Professor George Santayana, of Harvard University, have given valued assistance; and this opportunity is taken to acknowledge their kindness in solving the problems of interpretation which have been submitted to them. It should be added that the translation sometimes subordinates the claims of English structure and style in the effort to render La Mettrie's meaning exactly. The paragraphing of the French is usually followed, but the italics and the capitals are not reproduced. The page-headings of the translation refer back to the pages of the French text; and a few words inserted by the translators are enclosed in brackets. The philosophical and historical Notes are condensed and adapted from a master's thesis on La Mettrie presented by Miss Bussey to the faculty of Wellesley College.
