	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.

		His outlook, however, was more vitalistic than mechanistic, since it attributed to matter the capacity of sensation and feeling-indeed all the powers that were hitherto attributed to the soul.
		La Mettrie's works were severely prosecuted in France and the author took refuge in Holland, where he also raised opposition.
		'La Mettrie's whole concern with pathology indicates a liberal and reformist attitude in that age of generally illiberal and disordered institutions' (R.J. White, The Anti-Philosophers.

		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.

		Julien Offray de La Mettrie (1709—51), author of Machine Man (1747), was the most uncompromising of the materialists of the eighteenth century, and the provocative title of his work ensured it a succès de scandale in his own time.
		It was however a serious, if polemical, attempt to provide an explanation of the workings of the human body and mind in purely material terms and to show that thought was the product of the workings of the brain alone.
		This fully annotated edition presents a new English translation of the text together with the most important of La Mettrie’s other philosophical works, translated into English for the first time, and Ann Thomson’s introduction examines his aims and the scandalous moral consequences which he drew from his materialism.

	Technical Training versus Education
		Knowledge of that description has been the forerunner of all modern technical science.
		It is the knowledge of Diderot, a D’Alembert, a La Mettrie, who declared all philosophic thought to be null and void, who in works such as Histoire naturelle de l’ame and L’homme machine advocated an empiricism in which everything is explained in terms of casual reflexes between brain and body.
		The thought of Hume, their English contemporary, is stronger and finer, but his doctrine of the association of ideas, and the principles of all possible associations (he assumes similarity, contiguity in time and space, and cause or effect) lead to the same result (Philosophical Essays Concerning Human Understanding and An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding).
