Man a Machine is a philosophical treatise by the French physician and philosopher Julien Offray de La Mettrie. Originally published in 1748, the book presents a materialist view of human nature and consciousness, arguing that the mind and body are inseparable and that all mental processes can be explained in terms of physical processes. De La Mettrie contends that man is essentially a machine, a complex system of organs and tissues that operate according to the laws of physics and chemistry.The book is divided into four parts, each of which explores different aspects of human nature. In the first part, de La Mettrie argues that the human body is a self-regulating machine that operates according to the principles of mechanics and physiology. He describes the various organs and systems of the body and explains how they work together to maintain health and vitality.In the second part, de La Mettrie turns his attention to the mind, arguing that it is a product of the brain and nervous system. He rejects the notion of a separate soul or spirit, and instead suggests that all mental processes can be explained in terms of physical processes.In the third part, de La Mettrie explores the relationship between the mind and the body, arguing that they are intimately connected and that mental states can have a profound effect on physical health and well-being.Finally, in the fourth part, de La Mettrie considers the implications of his materialist philosophy for ethics and morality. He argues that traditional religious and moral codes are based on outdated notions of human nature and that a more scientific approach to ethics is needed.Overall, Man a Machine is a groundbreaking work of philosophy that challenged traditional views of human nature and consciousness. Its materialist perspective and emphasis on the importance of science and reason continue to influence philosophical and scientific thought today.Of the two alternatives, only one is possible: either everything is illusion, nature as well as revelation, or experience alone can explain faith. But what can be more ridiculous than the position of our author! Can one imagine hearing a Peripatetic say, We ought not to accept the experiments of Torricelli, for if we should accept them, if we should rid ourselves of the horror of the void, what an astonishing philosophy we should have!''This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Julien Offray de La Mettrie (1709-1751) war ein französischer Arzt und Philosoph. Bekanntheit erlangte er vor allem durch sein konsequent materialistisches Menschenbild, weswegen er seinen Zeitgenossen als enfant terrible der Aufklärung galt. Der Aufklärer La Mettrie ist insbesondere durch seine Schrift mit dem eingängigen Titel L'homme machine (1748; dt.: Der Mensch als Maschine) in die Geschichte der Philosophie eingegangen. Sein Discours sur le bonheur oder Anti-Sénèque (1748), den er selbst als sein Hauptwerk ansah, wurde hingegen von den Zeitgenossen geschmäht und später kaum noch beachtet. Ausgehend von René Descartes entwickelte La Mettrie einen streng erfahrungsorientierten Materialismus, der jegliche metaphysische Vorannahmen oder Schlussfolgerungen verneint. So bestimmt er die Seele - einen zentralen Streitgegenstand der Frühaufklärung - als Resultat komplexer Körperfunktionen, die folgerichtig nicht nur durch deren individuelle Wandlungen (z. B. durch körperliche Funktionsstörungen oder durch Lernen) beeinflussbar ist, sondern somit auch als Ergebnis einer biologischen Entwicklung erscheint. Damit wich La Mettrie radikal von Descartes ab, der einen Dualismus von Geist und Materie angenommen hatte.

The French text presented in this volume is taken from that of a Leyden edition of 1748, in other words, from that of an edition published in the year and in the place of issue of the first edition. The title page of this edition is reproduced in the present volume. The original was evidently the work of a Dutch compositor unschooled in the French language, and is full of imperfections, inconsistencies, and grammatical blunders. By the direction of the publishers these obviously typographical blunders have been corrected by M. Lucien Arréat of Paris. The translation is the work of several hands. It is founded on a version made by Miss Gertrude C. Bussey (from the French text in the edition of J. Assezat) and has been revised by Professor M. W. Calkins who is responsible for it in its present form. Mademoiselle M. Carret, of the Wellesley College department of French, and Professor George Santayana, of Harvard University, have given valued assistance; and this opportunity is taken to acknowledge their kindness in solving the problems of interpretation which have been submitted to them. It should be added that the translation sometimes subordinates the claims of English structure and style in the effort to render La Mettrie's meaning exactly. The paragraphing of the French is usually followed, but the italics and the capitals are not reproduced. The page-headings of the translation refer back to the pages of the French text; and a few words inserted by the translators are enclosed in brackets. The philosophical and historical Notes are condensed and adapted from a master's thesis on La Mettrie presented by Miss Bussey to the faculty of Wellesley College.

Tout est plaisir pour un coeur voluptueux; tout est roses, oeillets, violettes dans le champ de la Nature. Sensible à tout, chaque beauté l'extasie; chaque être inanimé lui parle, le réveille; chaque être animé le remue; chaque partie de la Création le remplit de volupté. Ce court ouvrage de Julien Offray de La Mettrie, philosophe et médecin français, écrit en 1571, se révèle être une véritable apologie de la volupté et du plaisir des sens. Sous la forme d'une longue lettre adressée à une femme, l'auteur nous y expose sa philosophie de la jouissance, de l'hédonisme. Décrié pour ses écrits jugés sulfureux, faisant l'objet de la haine des esprits religieux de l'époque, il finira sa vie en exil en Allemagne. Médecin spécialiste dans les maladies sexuellement transmissibles, il publiera également des ouvrages médicaux. Le philosophe Michel Onfray s'en est inspiré pour son livre L'Art de jouir. Pour un matérialisme hédoniste paru en 1991.

Dans ce livre, de La Mettrie propose une analyse matérialiste de l'origine et de l'évolution des êtres vivants, excluant une intervention divine, ou une finalité. Suivent ensuite des réflexions sur la mort, la vie, les plaisirs. Ce livre préfigure la réflexion darwinienne, avec un siècle d'avance, à une époque où cette dernière n'était pas le courant de pensée majoritaire. Le livre est reproduit ici avec l'orthographe de l'époque.
