Description “...one should view the Système physique et moral de la femme not just in relation to the genre of medical literature it helped spawn, but also in light of the discursive and conceptual construct from which it sprang: namely, the vast body of medical literature produced between 1729 and 1802 to account for the singular vital property of sensibility. For what is at stake in this treatise is not sex per se, but rather the implications of sex for sensibility, a concept that had a truly paradigmatic function in a number of 18th-century discursive fields, and most particularly in medical discourse.”
