The distinguished German scientist, Hermann von Helmholtz, and the superb French writer, Marcel Proust, never met. However, Henning Schmidgen's fascinating study of nineteenth century graphic machines, tracings, and early photography reveals how their shared preoccupation with the physiology and mechanics of muscles and nerves, however disparate, led them to remarkably similar discoveries about the arbitrary and unpredictable modern experience of time. -----Anson Rabinbach, Princeton University, author of The Human Motor, The distinguished German scientist, Hermann von Helmholtz, and the superb French writer, Marcel Proust, never met.

Synopsis
In 1850, Hermann von Helmholtz conducted path breaking experiments on the propagation speed of the nervous impulse. This book reconstructs the cultural history of these experiments by focusing on Helmholtz's use of the "graphic method" and the subsequent use of his term "lost time" by Marcel Proust., This book reconstructs the emergence of the phenomenon of "lost time" by engaging with two of the most significant time experts of the nineteenth century: the German physiologist Hermann von Helmholtz and the French writer Marcel Proust. Its starting point is the archival discovery of curve images that Helmholtz produced in the context of pathbreaking experiments on the temporality of the nervous system in 1851. With a "frog drawing machine," Helmholtz established the temporal gap between stimulus and response that has remained a core issue in debates between neuroscientists and philosophers. When naming the recorded phenomena, Helmholtz introduced the term temps perdu, or lost time. Proust had excellent contacts with the biomedical world of late-nineteenth-century Paris, and he was familiar with this term and physiological tracing technologies behind it. Drawing on the machine philosophy of Deleuze, Schmidgen highlights the resemblance between the machinic assemblages and rhizomatic networks within which Helmholtz and Proust pursued their respective projects.

The condition was better than described, the value was great, the shipping was quick and well packaged! Packaging was way better than Amazon. I am going to terminate my book purchases as they arrive with covers bent and bent and bumped corners. They look like seconds!,
