Upper joint starting but solid half-title with small stain at outer edge overall a fresh crisp copy. First edition second issue. 4 xxii 643 1 pp. 1 vols. 4to 9-3/4 x 7-1/4 inches. First edition of the last major work of the French philosopher and encyclopédiste Helvetius De l'esprit On the Mind was condemned by the Church and the Sorbonne for its uncompromising atheism regarded as dangerously revolutionary by the Court of Louis XV and publicly condemned by Parliament. A follower of Locke's empiricism Helvetius's work was an important development in the history of utilitarian thought and both Bentham and Mill were strongly influenced by Helvetius's elaboration of a theory which saw mankind as the product of his environment and his education. <br /> <br /> The first issue of the first edition is very rare: Smith locates only 15 copies.

DE L'ESPRIT
1758. HELVETIUS Claude-Adrien. DE L'ESPRIT. Nouvelle edition. Revue et corrigee sur un Exemplaire non chatre de la premiere Edition. Paris: Chez Durand libraire 1758. Two octavo volumes. Vol. I: 4xiv318 pp.; Vol. II: xiii334 pp. Contemporary bindings; full calf gilt labels and decoration at spine all edges speckled red. Large armorial bookplate at front pastedown of each volume. Except for occasional light foxing the volumes are clean internally. Bookblocks are lightly foxed at exposed edges and are dust-soiled at top-edges. The bindings are a bit edgeworn with shallow loss at spinal ends. The top joint of volume one and the lower joint of volume two are cracked though the boards are still attached; and the other boards have been professionally re-hinged. One spine label is missing and another is nicked. The leather was varnished at one point and the finish has rubbed off in some places. Very good overall. Helvetius French 1715-71 was one of the encyclopedistes and De l'esprit is his major work. It was written as a response to Montesquie's L'Esprit de lois and was first printed in 1758. It attracted immediate attention and aroused formidable opposition because of its utilitarian philosophy. The Sorbonne the Parlement of Paris the Pope the Bishop of Paris as well as various other bishops condemned the book. It was even publicly burned by the hangman. The attendant controversy caused it to be widely read and many editions were printed within a short time to satisfy the demand. This is a later edition by the publisher of the original edition printed the same year as the first edition.

De L'homme de ses facultés intellectuelles et de son éducation. Ouvrage posthume.
London = France: La Société Typographique 1773. Contemporary mottled calf gold-tooled spine. 8vo. 2 volumes bound as 1. Third or second edition of one of the key works of the Radical Enlightenment published in the same year as the first edition. The author had evoked huge outcry with the publication of De L'esprit 1758 a carefully argued essay on the mind in which he roundly rejected metaphysics and the idea of Truth replacing Christian morals by purely utilitarian ethics and stressing the importance of education as the key to moral behaviour. In De l'homme Helvétius expanded and clarified his views provoking even Diderot to write a Réfutation. The present edition was most likely printed in France and as Smith argues it was probably this edition that the Paris Parliament condemned on 10 January 1774.Binding slightly rubbed; top of spine slightly worn. Fine copy.l Smith Bibliography H.3; cf. Cioranescu 33651 other edition; for Helvétius's philosophy: Blom A Wicked Company pp. 126-129. La Société Typographique, unknown

De lesprit On the Mind
<p>Paris: 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 <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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- <br />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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br /></p> Durand hardcover
