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.

‎Oeuvres Complètes…Nouvelle Édition Corrigée Et Augmentée Sur Les Manuscrits De L’Auteur Avec Sa Vie Et Son Portrait‎

‎London Bouillon: Société Typographique 1781. 1781. 2 Volumes. 4to. pp. lxxii 407; 2 p.l. iv 708. with half-titles. titles in red & black. engraved frontis. portrait by Aug. de St. Aubin after L.M.Vanloo. woodcut ornaments & initials. contemporary marbled calf gilt backs some wear to extremities short splits in joints. First and Only Quarto Edition of which 500 copies were printed according to Smith. 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 L’Esprit 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 L’Homme De Ses Facultès Intellectuelles Et De Son Éducation Le Bonheur and correspondence with Voltaire Hume &c. Smith O6. Tchemerzine VI 200 b. Hardcover.

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.
