Resumo: The machine-man of La Mettrie appears constantly connected to the cartesian animal-machine. From this relation, it is possible to inquire whether there is indeed some continuity between the Cartesian proposal and that advocated by La Mettrie or, on the contrary, whether the latter effectively represents a criticism and a rupture with respect to the former. Our interpretation is that the germ of materialism – and La Mettrie does not escape it – can only develop in the condition of breaking completely with the cartesian doctrine. So, far from there being only one step between one and another philosophical theory, what exists is a radical and giant difference. There is no theoretical continuity between the cartesian animal-machine and the lamettrian machine-man. Unlike what happens in Descartes theory, particularly, in his dualistic conception that implies a discontinuity, Machine-man establishes a continuist thesis between men and animals. For La Mettrie, the passage from animality to humanity is not a violent passage, but a gradual one.

A partir desta relação, é possível indagar se existe verdadeiramente alguma continuidade entre a proposta cartesiana e a defendida por La Mettrie ou, ao contrário, se esta última representa de modo efetivo uma crítica e uma ruptura em relação à primeira. Nossa interpretação defende que o germe do materialismo – e La Mettrie não escapa disso – só pode desenvolver-se na condição de romper totalmente com a doutrina cartesiana. Assim, longe de haver apenas um passo entre uma e outra teoria filosófica, o que existe é uma diferença radical e gigante. Não há uma continuidade teórica entre o animal-máquina cartesiano e o homem-máquina lamettriano. Diferentemente do que se passa na teoria de Descartes, particularmente, em sua concepção dualista que implica em uma descontinuidade, o Homem-máquina estabelece uma tese continuísta entre homens e animais. Para La Mettrie, a passagem da animalidade à humanidade não é uma passagem violenta, mas sim gradual.Universidade Federal do Recôncavo da Bahia2018-12-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-ReviewedEvaluados por los paresAvaliados pelos paresapplication/pdfhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/article/view/91210.31977/grirfi.v18i2.912Griot : Revista de Filosofia; v. 18 n. 2 (2018); 348-3612178-1036reponame:Griot : Revista de Filosofiainstname:Universidade Federal do Recôncavo na Bahia (UFRB)instacron:UFRBporhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/article/view/912/596Copyright (c) 2018 Mauro Dela Bandera Arco Júniorinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArco Júnior, Mauro Dela Bandera2020-06-30T18:14:39Zoai:seer.www.ufrb.edu.br:article/912Revistahttp://www.ufrb.edu.br/griot/PUBhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/oai||griotrevista@gmail.com2178-10362178-1036opendoar:2020-06-30T18:14:39Griot : Revista de Filosofia - Universidade Federal do Recôncavo na Bahia (UFRB)false
