Beschreibung

First published in 1647, this work was also published in English as A Discourse of the Knowledge of Beasts (London, 1657). Marin Cureau de La Chambre (1594-1669) was a physician from Le Mans who advised and treated two French Kings, Louis XIII and Louis XIV, as well as his patron, Chancellor Pierre Séguier. As both a physician and a philosopher, he was among the first members of the Académie Française and the Académie des Sciences. His argument here is that non-human animals exhibit reason, and have souls of some kind.
