	Julien Offray de La Mettrie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Julien Offray de La Mettrie (December 25, 1709 - November 11, 1751) was a French physician and philosopher, the earliest of the materialist writers of the Enlightenment.
		During an attack of fever he made observations on himself with reference to the action of quickened circulation upon thought, which led him to the conclusion that psychical phenomena were to be accounted for as the effects of organic changes in the brain and nervous system.

	Eulogy on Julien Offray de la Mettrie
		Julien Offray de la Mettrie was born in Saint Malo, on the twenty-fifth of December, 1709, to Julien Offray de la Mettrie and Marie Gaudron, who were living by a trade large enough to provide a good education for their son.
		The title of philosopher and the reputation of being unfortunate were enough to procure for La Mettrie a refuge in Prussia with a pension from the king.
		La Mettrie was born with a fund of natural and inexhaustible gaiety; he had a quick mind, and such a fertile imagination that it made flowers grow in the field of medicine.

	Mettrie: Man a Machine.html
		Julien Offray de la Mettrie was born in Saint Malo, on the 25th of December, 1709.
		La Mettrie dismisses this notion arguing that there is no reason to believe that human beings have any greater sense of right and wrong than animals.
		La Mettrie notes that whilst it is not possible to prove the nonexistence of god, any such question, (along with any notions as to the nature of immortality) are so far removed from our experience as to be meaningless and best forgotten.

	The 18th Century
		La Mettrie was born in Brittany, in the town of Saint-Malo.
		In articulating this point, La Mettrie went far beyond the static mechanism of Descartes to conceive of the living machine as a purposive, autonomous, and dynamic system.
		Although vilified in his own time, La Mettrie's often unacknowledged influence continued to be felt for many years within French intellectual circles.

	Julien Offray De La Mettrie, Man A Machine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Mettrie locates the failing of the "greatest philosophers" in their imagining the soul as distinct and before the body.
		Instead, if one is to begin to understand "man," one must accept the messy complexities of body and soul as machine first, and then try to disentangle the two.
		Of course, Mettrie admits to the impossibility of this endeavor, though, that is, perhaps, exactly the discovery he wants to describe.
