Description

Explore the evolution of eccentric bodies and artificial beings across centuries of European thought with this scholarly examination from Palgrave Macmillan. This volume in the Palgrave Studies in Medieval and Early Modern Medicine series traces the intellectual and cultural history of automata, cyborgs, and mutants from the Renaissance through contemporary transhumanism. The book connects medieval and early modern medical theories with modern posthuman philosophy, examining how societies have conceptualised artificial life, bodily transformation, and the boundaries between human and machine. Essential reading for historians of science and medicine, scholars of transhumanism, and anyone interested in how ideas about the body and technology have shaped Western thought. Drawing on primary sources and contemporary scholarship, this work contextualises the philosophical and medical foundations underlying today's debates about artificial intelligence, genetic modification, and human enhancement.
