- a human being
- 1835, Honoré de Balzac, Le père Goriot:
- A compter de ce moment, sa physionomie garda la douloureuse empreinte du combat qui se livrait entre la mort et la vie dans une machine qui n’avait plus cette espèce de conscience cérébrale d’où résulte le sentiment du plaisir et de la douleur pour l’être humain.
- Thenceforward there was no expression on his face, only the painful traces of the struggle between life and death that was going on in the machine; for that kind of cerebral consciousness that distinguishes between pleasure and pain in a human being was extinguished.
