Abstract

This article aims to analyze and understand the materialistic, mechanistic reduction that La Mettrie conceives man, in his book: The man machine, elevating him to the field of a machine that sorts itself through its own parts, their organizations thus pushing away from any human relationship with a thinking soul, something that is critical and necessary for the life of man. In its mechanistic view the soul is rendered idle word that means not all, totally devoid of meaning as constituted man machine. 

Keywords: man, machine, mechanisms, organization, soul.
