自十八世紀啟蒙運動以來，知識驅動世界前進，然而不僅止於知識，視、聽、嗅、味、觸等五感，同樣驅使人類轉動歷史的巨輪。新銳歷史學家卡洛琳．普內爾，以有別於以往的角度，切入這段人類重要時期，探索過往三百年，人類對於五感的認知，是如何隨著歲月而有所轉變。如今看來，當中有些令人疑惑不解、甚至噁心恐懼。《感》一書讓讀者得以藉由普內爾迥異的視角，重新認識人類對於知覺的感官過往。

THE

SENSATIONAL

PAST

HOW THE ENLIGHTENMENT CHANGED THE WAY

WE USE OUR SENSES

CAROLYN PURNELL

Sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch―as they were celebrated during the Enlightenment and as they are perceived today.

Blindfolding children from birth? Playing a piano made of live cats? Using tobacco to cure drowning? Wearing "flea"-colored clothes? These actions may seem odd to us, but in the eighteenth century, they made perfect sense.

As often as we use our senses, we rarely stop to think about their place in history. But perception is not dependent on the body alone. Carolyn Purnell persuasively shows that, while our bodies may not change dramatically, the way we think about the senses and put them to use has been rather different over the ages. Journeying through the past three hundred years, Purnell explores how people used their senses in ways that might shock us now. And perhaps more surprisingly, she shows how many of our own ways of life are a legacy of this earlier time.

The Sensational Past focuses on the ways in which small, peculiar, and seemingly unimportant facts open up new ways of thinking about the past. You will explore the sensory worlds of the Enlightenment, learning how people in the past used their senses, understood their bodies, and experienced the rapidly shifting world around them.

In this smart and witty work, Purnell reminds us of the value of daily life and the power of the smallest aspects of existence using culinary history, fashion, medicine, music, and many other aspects of Enlightenment life.
