Rousseurs éparses. Papier légèrement Jauni. Quelques traces de plis. Ouvrage célèbre condamné par la Sorbonne et mis à l'Index où Helvétius se réclame des principes de Locke et prend pour bases de sa morale l'utilité et le plaisir. Helvetius était encore au collège lorsquil connut le livre de lEntendement humain de Locke. Ce livre le bouleversait et il devient un disciple zélé de Locke en ajoutant des découvertes à celles de son maître à la recherche des rapports des lois de la nature et le bonheur des hommes. Paris, Durand, 1769. unknown

Reference: Smith Bibliography of the writings of Helvetius B.4. <br /><br />A philosophical inquiry into happiness which Helvetius worked on sporadically during the last 30 years of his life. The line of reasoning accords remarkably well with recent studies of human happiness by "positive psychologists" such as Martin Seligman: happiness is a mental state independent of the things and places we seek it. The unfinished poem was published in a small edition with a long biographical preface six months after Helvetius died. No less than ten printings surfaced all of them with surreptitious imprints within a year of the initial publication. These have been elegantly sorted and exhaustively described by David Smith in the bibliography cited. Our copy was the fourth printing. [Dufour & Roux] hardcover
