An exploration of the intersection between medicine, philosophy, and the human sciences, examining how the discourse of medicine and the medical sciences contributed to the formation of the modern self by acting on bodies and minds in health and disease. Surveying key moments in the history of medicine, we will examine, amongst others, how electricity redefined the boundaries between the animate and the inanimate, how the rise of germ theory contributed to changes in the relationship between the individual and society, and how the Freudian revolution challenged the autonomy of the bourgeois subject.

How have the visual arts and the sciences interacted in the modern period? In what ways have those interactions served to define and defy boundaries between empirical investigation and expressive creativity? Where is the most significant contemporary work in this area, and to what extent is this work informed by or indifferent to historical tradition? In this seminar we will take up these questions and others through a course of readings in primary and secondary sources from the Renaissance to the present day.
