Anne C. Vila

Broschiertes Buch

Enlightenment and Pathology

Sensibility in the Literature and Medicine of Eighteenth-Century France

Beschreibung

If moods are as contagious as colds, and wickedness as debilitating as a bad diet, inquiries into assorted discourses in 18th-century France still have much to tell. Author Anne Vila shows that multiple junctures between the body and the mind promoted a steady commerce of speculation and discussion between science and the social salons of the time. 9 illustrations.
