Rate this book
L'histoire de l'expérimentation sur les hommes en médecine. L'auteur insiste sur le développement parallèle de la rationalité scientifique et des rationalités qu'il qualifie d'abominables et qui consistent à sacrifier les plus vulnérables comme matériau expérimental (les paralytiques, les orphelins, les bagnards, les prostituées, les détenus, les internés...)--[Memento].

Mocno sie zawiodłam na tej książce. Liczyłam na cos ze strony chirurgi, traktowanie ciala pod wzgledem religijnym i psychologicznym. Książka zawiera wiecej polemiki i włączania opini innych autorów, niż samego wkladu Chamayou. Dużo filozofi zamiast faktow i historii. Może to tylko ja tak odczuwałam, ale bardzo sie nudziłam przy tej ksiażce. Żałuje,że ją zakupiłam.

I was deeply disappointed in this book. I was hoping for something from surgery, treating the body religiously and psychologically. The book contains more polemics and incorporation of other authors' opinions than Chamayou's contribution. Lots of philosophy instead of facts and history. Maybe it's just me, but I found this book very boring. I regret having purchased it.
