It explores the way in which this work developed themes not just on questions such as the circulation of the blood, but also on central questions of perception and our knowledge of the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoverage first offers a critical discussion on the different versions of \u003ci\u003eL'Homme\u003c\/i\u003e, including the Latin, French, and English translations and the 1664 editions. Next, the authors examine the early reception of the work, from the connection of \u003ci\u003eL'Homme \u003c\/i\u003eto early-modern Dutch Cartesianism to Nicolas Steno's criticism of the work and how Descartes' clock analogy is used to defend two different conceptions of the articulation between anatomical observations and functional hypotheses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book then goes on to explore \u003ci\u003eL'Homme \u003c\/i\u003eand early-modern anthropology as well as the how the work has been understood and incorporated into the worksof scientists, physicians, and philosophers over the last 150 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e      Overall, readers will discover how the trend over the last few decades to understand human cognition in neuro-physiological terms can be seen to be not something unprecedented, but rather a revival of a way of dealing with these fundamental questions that was pioneered by Descartes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Springer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2017-01-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9783319469874\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44499559841932,"sku":"9783319469874","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319469874_85a4654a-3ea0-47c0-bd24-c6cfc0820a80.jpg?v=1768920282","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319469874","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
