"In The Enlightenment Cyborg, Allison Muri presents cultural evidence, from literary, philosophical, scientific, and medical texts, for the existence of mechanically steered or 'cyber' humans in the works of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century thinkers. Muri illustrates how Enlightenment exploration of the notion of the 'man-machines' was inextricably tied to ideas of reproduction, government, individual autonomy, and the soul, demonstrating an early connection between scientific theory and social and political thought. She argues that late-twentieth-century social and political movements, such as socialism, feminism, and even conservatism, are thus not unique in their use of the cyborg as a politicized trope."--BOOK JACKET
