Caliban and the Witch is a history of the body
in the transition to capitalism. Moving from the peasant revolts of the
late Middle Ages to the witch-hunts and the rise of mechanical
philosophy, Federici investigates the capitalist rationalization of
social reproduction. She shows how the battle against the rebel body and
the conflict between body and mind are essential conditions for the
development of labor power and self-ownership, two central principles of
modern social organization.
