1677628Paris: Angot 1677. Hardcover. Fair. Misc. Well-illustrated 1677 second French edition reviewed and corrected from the first René Descartes L'Homme The Man et la Formation du Foetus Formation of the Fetus; and added to this edition Le Monde ou Traité de la Lumiere The World or Treatise on the Light. This copy with the provenance of a noted scientist. A lot to unpack here; might I suggest that you review the Wikipedia articles on the Descartes works ""Treatise on Man"" and ""The World"". In extreme short and therefore a poor description there are three works of Descartes here which blended science and philosophy. The treatise on The Man and The Fetus he didn't feel confident to publish after Galileo's condemnation so they are here published only for the second time corrected from the first edition and they are not finished as Descartes didn't every prepare them for publication. They delve into Descartes theories on the body it's mechanisms and how the psychosomatic affects it. About 50 corresponding illustrations hard to count as some pages may be two plates. The third work again a poor brief description The World was added to this second edition. ""Descartes espoused mechanical philosophy a form of natural philosophy popular in the 17th century. He thought everything physical in the universe to be made of tiny corpuscles of matter. Corpuscularianism is closely related to atomism. The World presents a corpuscularian cosmology in which swirling vortices explain among other phenomena the creation of the Solar System and the circular motion of planets around the Sun. The World rests on the heliocentric view first explicated in Western Europe by Copernicus. Descartes delayed the book's release upon news of the Roman Inquisition's conviction of Galileo for ""suspicion of heresy"" and sentencing to house arrest. Descartes discussed his work on the book and his decision not to release it in letters with another philosopher Marin Mersenne.""

7 volumes in-12, plein veau granité de l'époque, dos à nerfs filetés or, ornés de compartiments dorés au petit fer, pièces de titre de maroquin bordeaux, roulette sur les coupes, tranches mouchetées, bandeaux et culs-de-lampe, nombreuses figures in-texte et planches hors-texte, dont dépliantes. Deuxième édition publiée quelques mois après la première. L'oeuvre maîtresse de P.-S. Régis, fondamentale dans l'histoire de la diffusion du cartésianisme, portant sur l'ensemble du système philosophique et scientifique de Descartes. Selon sa propre préface, Régis attendit l'autorisation de publier son livre pendant dix années et n'obtint le privilège qu'en ôtant du titre toute référence à Descartes. Une édition a été imprimée, sans autorisation, en Hollande la même année, sous le titre de: 'Cours entier de philosophie ou Système général selon les principes de M. Descartes'. Bien que reçu par ses contemporains comme l'œuvre de "Descartes lui-même revenu sur la terre" (Daniel, 'Voyage du monde de M. Descartes'), l'ouvrage contient nombreuses influences extérieures, en particulier Gassendi pour la logique ou Hobbes pour la morale. Nombreuses illustrations sur bois in et hors-texte, dont planches dépliantes. Le dernier volume renferme un précieux "Dictionnaire des termes propres à la philosophie" et une table générale des matières. L'impression se fit pour le compte des libraires associés Anisson, Posuel et Rigaud qui dominaient la librairie lyonnaise et pour lesquels cette publication servit d'introduction sur le marché parisien. (Dict. des philosophes, PUF, II, 2428. France littéraire, VII, 493). Ex-libris armorié estampé à froid sur les gardes. Quelques épidermures et petits accrocs à la reliure. Très bon exemplaire, bien relié à l'époque.

165019746Amsterdam: Apud Ludovicum Elzevirium 1650. FIRST LATIN EDITION. First Latin edition printed in French the year before. This the last book authored by Descartes and written for Queen Christina of Sweden discusses psychology ethics and the relationship between mind and body. “Descartes believed the soul to be a definite entity giving rise to thoughts feelings and acts of volition. He was one of the first to regard the brain as an an organ integrating the functions of mind and body†G&M.<br /> <br /> Descartes made an essential distinction between the soul as the divinely-endowed seat of consciousness will and rational thought and the body as a machine or automaton subject to the laws of physics and only indirectly controlled by the soul through the nerves. Using this dualistic model he was able to make the important distinction between voluntary and involuntary actions. <br /> <br /> “Cartesian physiology and philosophy had a powerful influence on the thinking of such men as Robert Hooke Giovanni Borelli Jan Swammerdam and Thomas Willis. Descartes’ theories helped to explain in understandable mechanistic terms the more puzzling problems of human physiology during a time when scientific research was expanding rapidly†Heirs. <br /> <br /> DSB IV pp. 55 - 65; Garrison & Morton 4965 Fr. ed.; Heirs of Hippocrates 467; Norman 625 Fr. ed.; Wellcome II p. 453.

Contiene ognuno con proprio frontespizio: - Renati Des-Cartes Principia philosophiae. Editio novissima auctior & emendatior 32- 168 pagine Frontespizio con data 1692. – Renati Des Cartes Specimina philosophiae: seu Disseratio de methodo rectè regendae rationis & veritatis in scientiis investigandae: Dioptrice et Meteora. Ex Gallico translata & ab auctore perlecta variiisque in locis emendata 16- 200 pagine. - Passiones animae per Renatum Des Cartes: Gallice ab ipso conscriptae nunc autem in externorum gratiam Latina ciuitate donatae. 24- 74- 6 pagine. -Manca rispetto a quanto annunciato nel frontespizio il Tractatus de Homine et de formatione foetus.-- Segue invece un frontespizio di OPERA PHILOSOPHICA OMNIA in tres tomos distributa data 1697 poi 26 pp con Nota dell'editore la Vita di Cartesio Vitae Renati Des.Cartes brevis descriptio e l'Index generalis. Poi senza numerazione le BREVES ANNOTATIONES AD CONTROVERSA QUAEDAM PHILOSOPHIAE RENATI DES CARTES 72 pp- Seguono 5 tavole di figure applicate ft. Che si riferiscono al trattato Dioptrice et Meteora le figure 1 e 7 sono ripetute sia nel testo sia nelle tavole in fine. Bruniture diffuse e insistenti in quasi tutte le parti del libro per le caratteristiche purtroppo della carta olandese. Legatura coeva in piena pergamena con titolo manoscritto al dorso qualche abrasione al piatto posteriore. - Volume ricomposto e "censurato" con l'omissione del Tractatus de Homine e la sua sostituzione con le Breves Adnotationes in polemica con Cartesio. Ma resta anche per questo una notevole testimonianza dell'influenza delle idee cartesiane della loro diffusione e delle reazioni che suscitarono alla fine del 600. Di queste raccolte di opere di Cartesio ne furono pubblicate numerose e con composizioni diverse tra il 1644 e il 1897 da parte di Elsevier di Blaeu e di Knoch.</p> Fridrici Knochii
