Half-title ownership stamp of Andre Lepine. RARE. Good. The collected works of Helvetius the noted philosopher freemason and 'litterateur'. "In 1758 Helvétius published his philosophical magnum opus a work called De l'esprit On Mind which claimed that all human faculties are attributes of mere physical sensation and that the only real motive is self-interest therefore there is no good and evil only competitive pleasures. Its atheistic utilitarian and egalitarian doctrines raised a public outcry and the Sorbonne publicly burned it in 1759 forcing Helvétius to issue several retractions". / " 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". Wikip. / De l'homme de ses facultés intellectuelles et de son éducation On Man was published in 1773. Contains: De l'Esprit; De l'Homme et de Son Education; Le Bonheur; Epitres.

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.

De lesprit On the Mind

1758873Paris: 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 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. 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. 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. 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. 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- 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. 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. Durand hardcover
