Abstract

This book demonstrates medical arguments about the nature of the relationship between the physical, mental, and social aspects of men's and women's lives. Neurology is the branch of medicine that is central to this book. Here, the medical writers all move beyond the particulars of their specialisms to ponder ethical and philosophical questions raised by their scientific observations. William Carpenter, Thomas Laycock, and Henry Maudsley are three examples of doctors whose treatises on cerebral and neurological functioning slid almost imperceptibly into elegant disquisitions on the nature of consciousness and the elusive relationship of body and mind.
