Londres 1755. 8°. XLII, 390p. Reliure pleine veau d'époque, dos a nerfs orné.
Quérard I, 408 (avec l amention Londres 1754). - Erste Ausgabe. - Charles Bonnets frühe physische Behinderungen: er war schon als Kind taub geworden, zudem war er schon mit dreissig Jahren nicht mehr in der Lage mikroskopische Studien zu tätigen, was den erfolgreichen Insektenforscher zwang, seine naturwissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse mit den Fragen der Philosophie, vor allem mit der Phänomenologie zu verbinden. So wie seine naturwissenschaftlichen Studien sind auch die philosophisch-psychologischen Texte stark pietistisch geprägt. - Der fingierte Druckort "London" scheint sich aus dem kurzen Vorwort zu erklären in dem der Autor sich an seine ungenannten Freunde richtet, und ihnen seinen Dank ausspricht und das Buch widmet. Bonnet fand in seinen Studien über Abraham Trembley schon um 1740 Anerkennung der Royal Society, die den knapp zwanzigjährigen als Mitglied aufnahm. - Mit gestochenem Exlibris "M. de May d'Huningue"* (Wegmann 4684) auf dem Innendeckel. Sehr schönes fleckenloses Exemplar auf starkem Papier.

The rare first edition of Bonnet's important first work on psychology, in which he develops his views regarding the physiological conditions of mental activity and thus anticipates physiological psychology (biological psychology or behavioral neuroscience). Bonnet's movement or ""vibration"" model, which is presented in the present work for the first time, constitutes a much elaborated model of the internal representation of ideas that Newton had also discussed. His contributions to the field of neuro-psychology were highly original, and his theories which included the idea that the understanding of human (and animal) behavior presupposes knowledge of the nervous system and its functions caused quite a stir at the time of their appearance.With the present work, Bonnet became a pioneer in the study of the physiological bases of behavior, and his theories and experiments on the relationship between psychological and physiological processes were much ahead of his time.""Bonnet is considered one of the fathers of modern biology. He is distinguished for both his experimental research and his philosophy, which exerted a profound influence upon the naturalists of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. "" (D.S.B. II: 286).After at the age of 26 having discovered the parthenogenesis of the aphid (plant lice), which established virginal generation, having written important works in the field of regeneration of rainwater worms, a groundbreaking work on insectology, which ""entitles him consideration as an early exponent of experimental entomology"" (D.S.B. II: 286), a work which established him as one of the first naturalists to investigate photosynthesis, and several other works of interest, the Swiss natural historian, biologist and philosopher Charles Bonnet (1720-1793) began concentrating on philosophy and methodology. ""A true theoretician of biology, he exercised an enormous influence in this field and maintained a correspondence with almost all the scientists of his time. He published works that caused a considerable stir - among them ""Essai de psychologie""..."" (D.S.B. II: 286).
