摘要

The great age of automata, or lifelike ma-chines, began toward the close of the Mid-dle Ages and lasted into the 17th century. The technological marvels of that era were clockwork confections—intricate assemblies of gears, cranks, levers and ratchets. Clocks displayed the phases of the moon and the annual progress of the sun through the zodiac; they had animated figures to strike the hours and entertain onlookers. From machines that imitate life and the heavens, it is an easy step to the idea that life itself might be a mechanical process and that the stars could be, driven by some kind of celestial geartrain.
