Description

Explore the deep connection between human biology and technology in Embodiment and Mechanisation. Published by Routledge, this book examines how mechanistic views of the human body have shaped and been shaped by technological advancements from the Renaissance era to the modern day. By pulling from philosophical, neurological, and cultural studies, the text investigates what truly constitutes a body. It analyzes how successive technologies have both illustrated and reinforced specific beliefs about our physical selves. Readers will gain a better understanding of the limitations found in traditional mechanistic views. This work introduces newer perspectives on technology and embodied human thought. It offers a fresh way to look at the relationship between people and machines, providing a framework to evaluate common assumptions in our modern world. It is an essential resource for those studying the history of science, technology, and human identity.
