‎De l'Esprit. - [PRESENTATION-COPY OF THE EXCEEDINGLY RARE FIRST ISSUE]‎

‎Paris, Durand, 1758. Large 4to. Large-paper copy bound in a beautiful contemporary full calf binding with five raised bands to richly gilt spine. Triple gilt line-borders to boards, all edges of boards gilt and inner gilt dentelles. All edges gilt. A stunning, bright, clean, and fresh copy, with minimal wear and no restorations of any kind. Presentation-inscriptions to front free end-paper and to verso of title-page (see description in note below). Large woodcut title-vignette and many smaller vignettes throughout. (4), XXII, 643, (1) pp. + 40 ff. (i.e. the original, uncorrected leaves: pp. 1-16 35-38 59-62 67-70 75-78 139-142 145-154 169-176 187-190 233-34 227-230 459-462 547-550" 603-606 + 2 extra leaves that were printed incorrectly, namely p. 160 - reset & p. 239 - different vignette).‎


‎Extremely rare first edition, first issue, with manuscript dedication-inscription from the author, of this monumental work of the French Enlightenment. This magnum opus of modern thought is considered the founding work of modern Utilitarianism, as it is here that Helvétius articulates the greatest happiness principle (""the greatest happiness for the greatest number"") for the first time and becomes the first to define social welfare upon this utilitarian maxim, directly influencing Bentham and Mill.The materialistic philosophy of Helvétius' ""De l'Esprit"" also directly influenced Karl Marx, who had studied the work while in Paris and called the ideas presented in it ""the social basis of communism"".""De l'Esprit"" arguably constitutes the greatest ""succès de scandale"" of Western thought and one of the most influential works of Western philosophy.This magnificent copy is stunning in all ways. It contains all the extremely rare condemned and repressed leaves of the first issue (bound in the back), it is printed on large paper, contemporarily bound (presumably under instruction by Helvétius himself) in a stunning full calf gift binding and with two manuscript ex-dono- (presentation-) inscriptions by Helvétius himself. One of them, on the verso of the title-page, is crossed out, but is still legible (reading ""donum auctoris 17 avril 1760 Cl. Helvetius""), the second, on the front free end-paper reads ""ex dono auctoris 1761"" - thus indicating that Helvétius, who had the copy in his possession, to give away when he felt it appropriate, had first intended to give it away - perhaps late in the year - in 1760, and then ended up giving it away in 1761. The work lost its privilege almost immediately, and even though Hélvetius wrote three retractions, it was still condemned and publicly burnt. In spite of this, Helvétius still kept a few copies of the very first issue, with all the original leaves. According to Smith, 15 copies existed, and as Jacques Guérin also notes, these copies were all intended for his close friends and family (we know for instance that Rousseau received one of the copies). These copies, of which the present is one, are thus of the utmost scarcity. Only one other has been on the market within the last 25 years, namely that of Jacques Guérin, which, however, did not have a dedication-inscription from Helvétius.As Tchermerzine describes, the extremely rare copies of the first issue, which are either without the newly formulated leaves or with the original leaves preserved (our copy has them all!) are between 10 and 60 times as valuable as the later issues, depending on condition - these between 4 and 15 copies are the only ones to contain the 80 revolutionary pages that caused the work to be condemned and burnt and sent Helvétius into exile. Tchermerzine does not, however, account for copies with a presentation-inscription like the present. The work caused an immense uproar, when it appeared. It was considered so heretical, atheistic, and immoral that it lost its privilege within a fortnight" it was heavily condemned by the Church and the State and was burnt by the Hangman, the plan being to destroy all copies of it. Few books in the entire history of printing have been met with such opposition - it was condemned by both the son of Louis XV and the Sorbonne, and the priests succeeded in convincing the court that the doctrines were so dangerous that even though Helvetius wrote three retractions, the book was still publically burned" and when the Encyclopédie of Diderot and d'Alembert was suppressed for the second time, this had much to do with Helvétius' De l'Esprit and the scandal it had caused.This scandalous work, however, gained so much attention that it was almost immediately translated into all European languages, contributing to the immense influence it came to have on all European thought. ""The history of Helvetius's De l'esprit (1758), his first major work, is eventful, complicated and paradoxical. No book during the eighteenth century, except perhaps Rousseau's Emile, evoked such an outcry from the religious and civil authorities or such universal public interest. Condemned as atheistic, materialistic, sacrilegious, immoral and subversive, it enjoyed a remarkable succes de scandale. The work lost its privilege within a fortnight of its publication. It was attacked in Church periodicals and in polemical pamphlets, in the literary salons and in popular songs, from bishops' pulpits and from the stage of the Théâtre francais. Though Helvetius retracted his book three times, he was condemned by the Archbishop of Paris (Nov. 1758), the Pope (Jan. 1759), the Parlement of Paris (Feb. 1759), the Sorbonne (Apr. 1759) and by various bishops."" (Smith, p. 332).""In ""De l'ésprit"" (1758), Helvétius follows the Lockean sensationalism of Condillac and pairs it with the claim that human beings are motivated in their actions only by the natural desire to maximize their own pleasure and minimize their pain. ""De l'ésprit"", though widely read, gives rise to strong negative reactions in the time, both by political and religious authorities (the Sorbonne, the Pope and the Parlement of Paris all condemn the book) and by prominent fellow philosophes, in great part because Helvétius's psychology seems to critics to render moral imperatives and values without basis, despite his best attempts to derive them. Helvétius attempts to ground the moral equality of all human beings by portraying all human beings, whatever their standing in the social hierarchy, whatever their special talents and gifts, as equally products of the nature we share plus the variable influences of education and social environment."" (SEP).D. W. Smith, The Publication of Helvetius's De l'esprit, in French Studies, 1968, p. 105.Tschermerzine III:672.‎

‎L'esprit en question L'éclairage De La Psychanalyse Introspective De Paul Diel.‎

‎Broché couverture souple, 206 pages, très bon état. Ellébore . Paris.‎


‎Qu'est-ce que l'esprit ? C'est l'élément organisateur de la matière. Jeanine Solotareff reprend cette définition établie par Paul Diel tout au long de son œuvre et nous montre comment utiliser au mieux cet instrument pour résoudre les problèmes de notre vie. En évoluant, l'esprit humain, comprenant la liaison entre monde intérieur et monde extérieur, devient capable de ré-harmoniser leur relation. L'esprit se comprend limité par sa liaison avec la matière, incapable de sortir de l'espace-temps. Il ne peut pas affirmer qu'il y a un Dieu, mais simplement l'imaginer, en faire le symbole de son émerveillement devant le monde. Si l'être humain oublie la liaison esprit-matière - oubli que la psychanalyse introspective appelle vanité - l'esprit se dégrade et tombe dans l'un des deux fléaux de notre monde moderne que sont le spiritualisme et le matérialisme. Mais pour avancer, l'esprit doit tenir compte de ce possible égarement, ce qui présente une difficulté certaine due à la subtilité de la vanité. Notre psychisme est ainsi le dialogue, ou plus souvent le conflit, entre ces deux pôles, l'esprit vain et l'esprit lucide. Ce texte en deux parties est construit au fil des pages comme l'esprit lui-même. La première partie se déroule de la biogenèse de l'esprit au sens de la vie, la deuxième des erreurs de l'esprit au retour vers la lucidité à l'aide de la méthode introspective. Chemin faisant, l'auteure ne craint pas de démonter certains dogmes établis par Freud, Doito... nous permettant ainsi d'aller toujours plus loin vers la compréhension scientifique du fonctionnement psychique, qui rejoint les conclusions du neurobiologiste Antonio Damasio. En l'état.Hors frais d'envoi.‎
