Durham & London:: Duke University Press, 1992., 1992. 8vo. xiv, 342 pp. Index. Cloth, dust-jacket. Fine. RARE IN JACKET. Wellman is Dedman Family Distinguished Professor and History Department Chair. "Professor Kathleen Wellman's work focuses on the connections between science and culture in early modern France.

In La Mettrie: Medicine, Philosophy, and Enlightenment, Wellman explores the ways in which philosophe and physician, Julien Offray de La Mettrie's medical concerns shaped his views on philosophy, morals, and social reform, and, conversely, how the emerging thought of the Enlightenment was reflected in his medical writings. La Mettrie emerges as a central figure in connecting medicine to the Enlightenment and in elucidating the…
