LOCKE William J.ABAA

2001169308Princeton NJ: Princeton University Press 2001. Hardcover. New in shrinkwrap. Cream boards with black cloth spine. Color-illustrated dust jacket with red lettering. viii 223 pp. Illustrations. "Edouard Manet's paintings have long been recognized for being visually compelling and uniquely recalcitrant. While critics have noted the presence of family members and intimates in paintings such as Le Dejeuner sur l'herbe Nancy Locke takes an unprecedented look at the significance of the artist's family relationships for his art. Locke argues that a kind of mythology of the family or Freudian family romance frequently determined Manet's compositional decisions and choice of models. By looking at the representation of the family as a volatile mechanism for the development of sexuality and of repression conflict and desire Locke brings powerful new interpretations to some of Manet's most complex works." "Locke considers for example the impact of a father-son drama rooted in a closely guarded family secret: the adultery of Manet pere and the status of Leon Leenhoff. Her nuanced exploration of the implications of this story - that Manet in fact married his father's mistress - makes us look afresh at even well-known paintings such as Olympia. This book sheds new light on Manet's infamous interest in gypsies street musicians and itinerants as Locke analyzes the activities of Manet's father as a civil judge. She also reexamines the close friendship between Manet and the Impressionist painter Berthe Morisot who married Manet's brother. Morisot becomes the subject of a series of meditations on the elusiveness of the self the transience of identity and conflicting concerns with appearances and respectability. Manet and the Family Romance offers an entirely new set of arguments about the cultural forces that shaped these alluring paintings."--Jacket. Princeton University Press hardcover books

AbregÃ© de l'essay de Monsieur Locke sur l'entendement humain

17923890<p>Uppsala: Veuve du directeur Jean Edman 1792. Rare French edition printed in Uppsala of the abridgement of the Essay on Human Understanding by John Wynne the format in which Locke's thought was most effectively popularized at English universities and in Europe. "In the last decade of the seventeenth century English culture held a frustrated fascination for the continental Republic of Letters. Frustrated because few Europeans could approach English ideas in the English language. Gabriel Bonno1 has shown how Locke's continental readers were dependent initially upon reviews in French-language journals â€“ Basnage de Beauval's Histoire des ouvrages des savans Bernard's Nouvelles de la rï¿½publique des lettres and particularly Le Clerc's Bibliothï¿½que universelle and its successors. Interested parties such as Limborch and Leibniz did not really come to grips with the Essay until it had been translated into French. This was accomplished in 1700 by Pierre Coste.Coste was like Le Clerc a French Protestant refugee in Holland. In 1695 he translated Locke's Some thoughts concerning education into French and sent the author a copy. Locke was pleased and Le Clerc encouraged the young man to begin translating the Essay. In 1697 Coste was invited to Locke's retreat at Oates as tutor to the Masham children and as Locke's assistant. The translation was completed under Locke's supervision and was published in June 1700 prefaced with Locke's recommendation. Coste remained at Oates until Locke's death in 1704. Thereafter in the midst of a busy literary career he continued his work on the Essay bringing out a revised edition in 1729." AttigThe first French edition of Wynne's abridged Essay came out in 1720 translated by Jean-Paul Bosset and with the first book given in Le Clerk's summary reprinted from his 1690 Bibliotï¿½que universelle rather than Wynne's. It was published several times in London 1720 1741 1746 1751 as well as Geneva 1738 1741 1788 Dresden 1788 and finally Uppsala 1792.OCLC: Harvard UCLA York.Hollis record. 8vo 17 x 11 x pp. including title with half-page engraved portrait of Locke 284 4 pp. Bound in contemporary half calf and speckled boards gilt morocco title label and raised bands on spine spine and corners of covers worn old ownership inscription on front end pastedown light toning throughout very good.</p> Veuve du directeur Jean Edman hardcover books

An Essay Concerning Humane Understanding in Four Books. The Third Edition.

1695LV2328London:: Awnsham and John Churchill and Samuel Manship 1695. 1695. Third edition. Folio. a2 b6 a-c4 B-3F4 3G-3I2. Pagination: 40 407 1 12 pp. Frontispiece engraved portrait of Locke by Sylvester Brounower and P. Vanderbanck; faint dampstain or rippling to bottom margin. Modern blue cloth over marbled boards red morocco title-label I1 large tear repaired old ownerâ€™s inscription penned over on top of title page J.B.S. Very good. THIRD EDITION; first printed in 1689. Jean Yolton notes that N. Petter Nidditch estimates this edition to be printed in 800 copies. John Locke 1632-1704 philosopher and fellow of the Royal Society was the secretary and close associate of Ashby the first Earl of Shaftsbury and Lord Chancellor. This "Essay" established him as the leading philosopher of his day and together with letters upon religious toleration provided the basis for Whig political thought for the next century and paved the way for the later philosophies of Bentham and the radicals. // Considered the father of English empiricism Locke "was the first to take up the challenge of Bacon and to attempt to estimate critically the certainty and the adequacy of human knowledge when confronted with God and the universe. In the past similar enquiries had been vitiated by the human propensity to extend them beyond the range of human understanding and to invent causes for what it cannot explain. Therefore Lockeâ€™s first task was to ascertain â€˜the original certainty and extent of human knowledgeâ€™ and excluding â€˜the physical consideration of the mind to show how far it can comprehend the universeâ€™. His conclusion is that though knowledge must necessarily fall short of complete comprehension it can at least be â€˜sufficientâ€™; enough to convince us that we are not at the mercy of pure chance and to some extent control our own destiny." - Printing of the Mind of Man. 164.
