DESCARTES Rene VIEUSSENS Raymond
Les Principes de la Philosophie. Escrits en Latin par Ren� Descartes. Et traduits en Fran�ois par un de ses Amis. Revues & corrigez en cette derniere Edition
Paris: Bobin & Le Gras 1668. Hardcover. Very Good. 4to - over 9� - 12" tall. 55 477 pp 2. With 22 full-page woodcuts 1 folding and 70 woodcut illustrations in text. Ink ownership inscription of Raymond Vieussens to front pastedown & shelf mark on front free endpaper. Bound in contemporary French calf spine in six compartments with gilt florets and title; some wear to boards but generally an excellent copy clean and fresh. Scarce edition of Descartes' magnum opus bearing the manuscript ex-libris of Raymond Vieussens 1635-1715 Royal Physician to Louis XIV and an important anatomist in his own right. Drawing directly on the dualistic theories of Descartes Vieussens became fascinated by the actions of the heart and of the brain in particular. "In his speculations on physiology Vieussens drew inspiration from both the mechanistic philosophy of Descartes and the iatrochemical ideas of F. de la Bo� Sylvius. He believed that he had demonstrated the existence of the nervous fluid." DSB "Without Descartes the seventeenth-century mechanization of physiological conceptions would have been inconceivable" notes the DSB ".No other great philosopher except perhaps Aristotle can have spent so much time in expermintal observation. According to Baillet over several years he studied anatomy dissected and vivisected embryos of birds and cattle and went on to study chemistry. His correspondence from the Netherlands described dissections of dogs cats rabbits cod and mackerel; eyes livers and hearts obtained from an abattoir.". Descartes' magnum opus his Principia Philosophiae presented to the world the purest expression of his mechanist vision of the universe seized upon eagerly by later anatomists such as Thomas Willis Nicolas Steno and as is evident from the present copy Raymond Vieussens. Intended to replace the Aristotelian texts used in universities with a curriculum based on physical and immutable laws of nature Descartes' Principles especially in its French editions comes replete with numerous plates of his famous swirling vortices as well as discussions of the Copernican system. Curiously as C. F. Fowler has noted a direct reference to the Principia is lacking from the Index Librorum Prohibitorum of 1664 which otherwise banned most of Descartes' works - although a blanket clause is also given "and the philosophical works of same author". Evidently the decree of the Catholic Church disuaded neither French publishers from printing the work nor the Royal Physician from purchasing it! In particular Veussens seems to have been inspired by the Cartesian concept of cerebral localization; but while Descartes considered the pineal body to be the seat of animal spirits and the soul Veussens regarded the corpora striata as the seat of the imagination. "Inspired by both Descartes's mechanistic and the iatrochemical philosophies Vieussens studied the white matter of the brain by tracing the path of its fibers" Schlager & Lauer eventually providing us with an early description of the brain's centrum semiovale sometimes referred to as Vieussens' centrum. Following his well-received Neurographica Universalis 1685 the Royal Physician issued his Trait� nouveau des Liqeurs de Corps Humain 1705 in which he describes the three Cartesian elements in detail and their functions within the body. Guilbert "Les Principes" 13; cf also Schlager & Lauer eds Science and Its Times 3 Gale 2001 p. 154; Fowler Descartes on the human soul: philosophy and the demands of Christian doctrine Kluwer 1999 pp 8-10.

Gisbertum Voetium� "It is no exaggeration to say that Descartes was the first of modern philosophers and one of the first modern scientists; in both branches of learning his influence has been vast�The revolution he caused can be most easily found in his reassertion of the principle lost in the Middle Ages that knowledge if it is to have any value must be intelligence and not erudition. His application of modern arithmetic to ancient geometry created the analytical geometry which is the basis of the post-Euclidean development of that science. His statement of the elementary laws of matter and movement in the physical universe the theory of vortices and many other speculations threw light on every branch of science from optics to biology�".
