Des Chene begins by surveying works that Descartes would likely have encountered, from late Aristotelian theories of the soul to medical literature and treatises on machines. The Cartesian theory of vital operations is examined, with particular attention to the generation of animals. Des Chene also considers the role of the machine-model in furnishing a method in physiology, the ambiguities of the notion of machine, and of Descartes's problem of simulation. Finally, he looks at the various kinds of unity of the body, both in itself and in its union with the soul.
Spirits and Clocks continues Des Chene's highly regarded exploration -- begun in his previous book, Life's Form -- of the scholastic and Cartesian sciences as well as the dialogue between these two worldviews.
