Drawing upon the rich heterogeneity of Denis Diderot’s texts - whether scientific, aesthetic, philosophic or literary - Andrew Clark locates and examines an important epistemological shift both in Diderot’s oeuvre and in the eighteenth century more generally.In Western Europe during the 1750s, the human body was reconceptualized as physiologists began to emphasize the connections, communication, and relationships among relatively autonomous somatic parts and an animated whole.
