This copy has both titles in red and black dated 1781 the original setting of the table in smaller type pp. 399-409 and the second version of the portrait noted by Smith. 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. The second volume contains De LHomme De Ses Facultès Intellectuelles Et De Son Éducation Le Bonheur and correspondence with Voltaire Hume &c. Smith O6. Tchemerzine VI 200 b. Hardcover.

169482846À Paris, chez la veuve de Nicolas Oudot, 1694, in-12, [16]-86 pp, Vélin souple de l'époque, titre manuscrit en tête du dos, Première édition. Rare et intéressant ouvrage dans lequel l'auteur recommande la prise de quinquina sous forme de clystère afin d'éviter les nausées. Ce secret que Helvétius garda longtemps ne fut pas "donné au Roy" comme cela est écrit sur la page de titre, mais vendu pour une belle somme. Jean-Adrien Helvetius (1661-1727), père du médecin Jean-Claude-Adrien Helvétius, a fait l'objet d'un portrait écrit par Saint-Simon dans ses mémoires : "C'était un gros Hollandais qui, pour n'avoir pas pris les degrés de médecine, était l'aversion des médecins et en particulier l'horreur de Fagon (....) Cela s'appelait donc un empirique dans leur langage, qui ne méritait que mépris et persécution". Ex-libris manuscrit ancien sur le contreplat ("B. Simonis alias Simon") et étiquette moderne de la bibliothèque de Jean Rouché. Krivatsy n° 5454. Wellcome III, 242. Couverture rigide
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.

A bit of minor scattered brownspotting and some smaller dampstaining towards end. All in all a very nice copy. 4 III 1 151 pp. Beautiful woodcut vignettes. <br/><br/><em>Possibly first edition. One of three editions printed in 1774 none of which has been established as the true first. All three editions are printed in London but differ in number of pages the other two having 96 and 84 respectively ours having 151. This very interesting work of the French Enlightenment is probably not written by Helvetius but by whom is not known. It does stay within the controversial lines of the great Enlightenment philosophers though probably being the reson why the author has never been identified. It has a lot in common with d'Holbach's monumental "Système de la Nature" from 1770 which constitutes the main work of materialism and one of the most important works of natural philosophy.
