177317694London = France: La Société Typographique 1773. Contemporary mottled calf gold-tooled spine. 8vo. 2 volumes bound as 1. Third or second edition of one of the key works of the Radical Enlightenment published in the same year as the first edition. The author had evoked huge outcry with the publication of De L'esprit 1758 a carefully argued essay on the mind in which he roundly rejected metaphysics and the idea of Truth replacing Christian morals by purely utilitarian ethics and stressing the importance of education as the key to moral behaviour. In De l'homme Helvétius expanded and clarified his views provoking even Diderot to write a Réfutation. The present edition was most likely printed in France and as Smith argues it was probably this edition that the Paris Parliament condemned on 10 January 1774.Binding slightly rubbed; top of spine slightly worn. Fine copy.l Smith Bibliography H.3; cf. Cioranescu 33651 other edition; for Helvétius's philosophy: Blom A Wicked Company pp. 126-129. La Société Typographique, unknown

177325123Londres i.e. The Hague: Chez la Société typographique 1773. 2 vols 12mo pp. 2 lxiv 639; 2 760 2 errata; brown morocco-backed brown cloth boards gilt lettering direct on spine; a good solid copy. Edited by Alexander Gallitzin. Posthumously published. There are at least two separate editions each with different title page ornaments. In this edition there is no comma after "intellectuelles" line 6 of title reads "et de son" and the title-page ornament looks somewhat like a stylized scallop shell. I can find no copies in ESTC that are duodecimo in format and with the stylized scallop-shell ornament. See Wellcome III p. 242 for the octavo edition. Chez la Société typographique unknown
1758873<p>Paris: Durand 1758. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. An Important Document for Understanding 18th Century French Censorship and Printing Practices and the Philosophical-Political Climate in 1758 <br /><br />HELVÉTIUS Claude-Adrien. De lesprit On the Mind Durand Paris 1758. 1 blank leaf half- title TP i-xxii 1-643 644 = Approbation and Privilege du Roi 1 blank leaf. Quarto. The B Tirage of De lesprit see below.Smith E.1b. <br /><br />The history of Helvétiuss De lesprit his first major work is eventful complicated and paradoxical. No book during the eighteenth century except perhaps Rousseaus Émile 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 success de scandale. The work lost its privilege within a fortnight of its publication. <br /><br />The publication history is no less eventful and complicated. There are three distinct first editions of the book: called the A B and C tirages. After carefully orchestrating efforts to mislead and bully the censor into a hasty approval of the text the A tirage the first impressions of the original edition which had begun to leave the presses by the end of June were kept by Helvétius for his personal friends. But before the work could be put on sale to the general public Malesherbes directeur de la librarie ordered that publication of the work be suspended indefinitely. The subversiveness of the book had been discovered and a new censor was introduced into the controversy and changes were made to the text. <br /><br />At this point the cunning of Helvétiuss publisher Durand came into play. He set up a completely new type modeling it upon the original edition. This type it can easily be recognized by its different type-setting and by its several new printing errors was adapted to suit the second censors requirements and was used to produce the second edition the B tirage. Thus when De lesprit was officially published in Paris on July 27th 1758 nobody suspected that it was in fact a completely new edition. However Durand had secretly saved and hidden the original typeset forms. <br /><br />The publication in 1758 of his principal work De lesprit was noisily condemned by the authorities both ecclesiastical and ministerial for its dangerously heretical and subversive opinions. Suppression of the book signaled a grave but fortunately temporary setback for the party of philosophes and Encyclopedists. Despite the recantations that Helvetius was forced to make regarding De lesprit he reaffirmed his ideas even more strongly in De LHomme de ses facultes intellectuelles et se son education published posthumously in 1772. EP Vol. 3 p. 472 Helvètius continued the work of Condillac by reducing all human understanding to sensation or sense- <br />perception. He then took this reductionist psychology and erected a utilitarian theory of morality based upon it making him one of the chief pioneers and promoters of utilitarian moral theory Copelston VI 1 p. 51. Helvètius was a strong defender of the benefits of education and also extremely political attacking all forms of despotism and in particular French despotism. <br /><br />CONDITION: Very good or better in a contemporary full calf binding with boards that are just a bit scuffed. The spine with five raised bands and beautiful gilt lettering and devices. Bookplate to front paste down. Stamp to upper corner of title page. Seemingly rehanged but expertly done. With lovely marbled endpapers. Overall a very beautiful copy of this book. <br /><br /></p> Durand hardcover

611La Haye: Chez Pierre Moetjens. First Dutch Pirate Edition. Hardcover. Very good . HELVÉTIUS Claude-Adrien LEsprit On the Mind Chez Pierre Moetjens A La Haye The Hague; Provins Michelin 1759. Vol I = half title-page TP i - viii = Preface 1 - 34 = Lettre au R.P.

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. Helvètius continued the work of Condillac by reducing all human understanding to sensation or sense- perception. He then took this reductionist psychology and erected a utilitarian theory of morality based upon it making him one of the chief pioneers and promoters of utilitarian moral theory Copelston VI 1 p. 51. Helvètius was a strong defender of the benefits of education and also extremely political attacking all forms of despotism and in particular French despotism.
