Author Biography:

Matthew Landers is an Assistant Professor of Humanities at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez, where he teaches courses in eighteenth-century British literature and the Enlightenment. He is currently working on a manuscript that examines the relationship between anatomy, philosophy and literature in Europe during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In addition, he has just started work on a new project that reconstructs the development of the word ‘culture’ in the eighteenth century. He regularly collaborates in the creation of interdisciplinary courses that combine the concerns of the humanities with those of the biological and physical sciences., Brian Muñoz (co-editor) is a doctor of philosophy from the University of Malaga, Spain (2002) and from the University of Paris X Nanterre, France (2007). He worked as an assistant professor at the University of Lyon I Claude Bernard until 2004. He was a professor at the University of Puerto Rico from 2007 to 2012. Currently he is a collaborative researcher with S2HEP (Science et société, Historicité, Education et Pratiques, University of Lyon and Ecole Normale Supérieur de Lyon). His research areas are contemporary and modern philosophy. His work with S2HEP deals with body and health transformations, especially in neuroethics. He has published several peer-reviewed essays and has arranged numerous conferences in an international context.
