摘要

In the early 1720s, George Cheyne, an iatromechanist of a Newtonian bent, extolled the medical concept then in vogue among iatromechanists - "elasticity'- as "the noblest I instrument of all the Action and Functions of an animated Body".' The lavish eulogy conferred on elasticity, however, seemed to be rather abruptly curtailed by the harsh condemnation of it from the ranks of people whom we may loosely call (iatro-)vitalists. The vitalists, equating elasticity with the mechanical property as such, severely downplayed the 'mechanical' body image preferred by iatromechanists in favour of their purportedly new concepts of sensibility, irritability, or other related concepts of the life-principle. Thanks to the vitalists, as late as 1750 the body came to be seen as a living organism fully endowed with the life principle, rather than as an automaton-like machine largely executed by the mechanical property of elasticity.
