Helvetius' thought represents the extreme form attained by the sensationalist and utilitarian philosophy in eighteenth century France and his most famous treatise De LEsprit had a wide and profound influence on Beccaria the Encyclopedist movement particularly Holbach the British Utilitarians especially Bentham and Mill as well as on Godwin who considered it to be one of the most influential books in his development. "No book during the eighteenth century except perhaps Rousseau's 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 succès de scandale. The work lost its privilege within a fortnight of its publication." Smith Denounced by the Sorbonne as containing within its pages all of the poisons scattered through modern literature it was burned by order of the parlement at the beginning of 1759. Helvetius himself made three separate retractions but his work was widely reprinted translated and read throughout Europe.

Claude Adrien Helvétius 26 January 1715 26 December 1771 was a French philosopher freemason and littérateur. Helvétius' philosophical studies ended in the production of his famous book De l'esprit On Mind. It was first published in 1758 and was intended to be the rival of Montesquieu's Spirit of the Laws with Helvétius arguing strongly against Montesquieu's theory that climate influenced the character of nations. The work attracted immediate attention and aroused the most formidable opposition especially from the dauphin Louis son of King Louis XV. The Advocate General Joly de Fleury condemned it in the Parlement of Paris in January 1759. The Sorbonne condemned the book while the priests persuaded the court that it was full of the most dangerous doctrines. The book was declared to be heretical so atheistic that it was condemned by Church and State and was burned. Helvétius terrified at the storm he had raised wrote three separate and humiliating retractions. In spite of his protestations of orthodoxy the book was publicly burned by the Paris hangman.
