Paolo Pecere – författare

This interdisciplinary book ties the historical work of Descartes to his successors through current research and critical overviews on the neuroscience of consciousness, the brain, and cognition.

This volume emphasizes the diversity and fruitfulness of early modern mechanism as a program, as a concept, as a model. The volume moves from early modern medicine and physiology to late Enlightenment and even early 19th-century psychology, always maintaining a conceptual focus.
