Treatise on Man (French original L'homme) is a work by Descartes.
Excerpt
- "I should like you to consider that these functions (including passion, memory, and imagination) follow from the mere arrangement of the machine’s organs every bit as naturally as the movements of a clock or other automaton follow from the arrangement of its counter-weights and wheels." (p.108)
