A Cultural History of Medical Vitalism in Enlightenment Montpellier
Routledge (2003)
Abstract
This study is a cultural history of Montpellier vitalism, regarded by many historians as the leading school of medicine in the French Enlightenment. Offering a holistic understanding of physical-moral relation in place of Descartes' mind-body dualism, Montpellier vitalism supplied essential discursive foundations of the medical enlightenment.Author's Profile
