BOOKS BY JULIEN OFFRAY DE LA METTRIE:

Machine Man and Other Writings
1748
A serious, if polemical, attempt to provide an explanation of the workings of the human body and mind in purely material terms and to show that thought was the product of the workings of the brain alone. (This edition also includes the most important of La Mettrie's other philosophical works, translated into English for the first time.)
