Palgrave Studies in the Enlightenment, Romanticism and Cultures of Print: Bodies, Culture, Politics

Packham, C.

This book offers an important account of the relationship between science and culture in the eighteenth century. It examines the 'vitalist' turn in physiology and natural philosophy, and its presence and effect in the burgeoning of philosophical and scientific inquiry of the Scottish Enlightenment, and the radical politics and culture of the 1790s.
