abstract = {[first paragraph] Some natural philosophers in the seventeenth century believed that they could control their own innards, specifically the physiological animal spirits coursing incessantly through brain and nerves, in order to discipline or harness passion, cognition, and action under rational guidance. Moralizing wishes and recommendations for the self's action on turbulent internal fluids were buttressed by reference to the prelapsarian limit case: ‘before the Fall, the soul could erase the brain's images' and ‘instantaneously arrest the disturbance in the brain's fibers and the agitation of its spirits merely by considering its duty'.2 The result of sin is that the inner dynamics of traces and animal spirits no longer depend on the will: our efforts ‘to combat licentiousness' and ‘the confused pleasure of the passions' must now be indirect, the product of long, weary acquaintance with ‘the charms and endearments' and ‘the threats and terror that the passions cause in us', as the seeker after truth becomes inured to coping with ‘their clatter and shadows'.3},
