'When I see a racehorse I see a machine, and that's what I paint, a horse-shaped machine with pistons thumping away and muscle fibres like connecting rods and a crack in the crank case with the oil dripping away drop by drop into the body cavity...'
The brain, like it or not, is a machine. Scientists have come to that conclusion, not because they are mechanistic killjoys, but because they have amassed evidence that every aspect of consciousness can be tied to the brain.
- Steven Pinker , “The Mystery of Consciousness”
By age twenty-seven Pascal had gained the admiration of mathematicians in Paris, had invented a calculating machine for his father, who was a burdened tax collector at the time, and had discovered the basic principles of atmospheric and hydraulic pressures.
This sudden access to the mysteries of the universe seemed to magnify the role of human reason. If the universe is a smooth-running machine with all its parts coordinated by one grand design, then we only have to think clearly to find life’s meaning and true happiness. This fundamental idea, that we have the ability to find the truth by the use of our senses and reason, gave rise to the label Age of Reason.
