Automaton[edit]

Should there be a mention in this article to tie this together with the orphan page Descartes' daughter? *Starfire2999* talk 23:08, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Best is probably to redirect that page, with one line and no explanation of its relevance yet, to this page and add a paragraph that soon after Descartes' death a fable arouse that he had made an automaton that he referred to as his daughter and why that fable arose. I didn't read the whole texts in the references, but it sounds like it arose for similar reasons as the fable that Darwin recanted his work on his deathbed.
