Recall that in the twentieth century, a similar experiment was done repeatedly. One family even anthropologists took the baby monkey, which was born simultaneously with her child, and raised him as my own child. Up to two and a half years everything was seemingly the same, but with three years - a sharp divergence in the abilities and behavior. A human child has evolved as a person, but the little monkey was not able to become Mowgli in the human world.
"What soul!?" -cried about the "little Parisian trained" opponents. In the question about the soul of La mettrie materialistically ruthless. "The soul is devoid of content, the term, which was not based on any ideas. Sanity, can use the term soul to refer only to the part of the body which thinks, that is the brain", answered critics of the great philosopher.
This, of course, an exaggeration. Historians of philosophy and science repeatedly discussed the treatise of La mettrie the human-machine. Many thinkers came to the conclusion that in man it is better to use a dialectical notion of the organic whole, in which there are new relations missing from the mechanism.
However, of La mettrie correctly noted that a living organism makes involuntary movement automatically without any action of the soul. He told me about it as always fun...
One drunken soldier sword blow Osiek head Indian cock. Cock remained on his feet, then walked and ran; stumbling against the wall, he turned, flapped his wings and continued to run and finally fell. The muscles of his when he was already lying on the ground continued to move.
I've seen it all himself.
So, we have seen that of La mettrie makes the most determined materialist (although not mechanistic) conclusions only as a result of many physical observations. "What value can have against such a strong and sturdy oak of the weak hand of divinity, metaphysics and the various schools of thought?" - he writes. This is baby toys, similar to the rapier of our gyms, which you can use to pleasure yourself to frolic, but in any case not to defeat the enemy.
Its Creator somewhat monotonous echoes and exhibit our Cabinet of curiosities, the famous man-machine...
Break the chain hung over you prejudices: arm yourself with the torch of experience, and you'll do nature a well-deserved honor. Only open your eyes and leave aside all that you cannot understand.
