DERRIDA Jacques.
La Dissemination.
Paris: Collection �Tel Quel� Aux Editions de Seuil 1972. First printing. Very Good/none. DERRIDA Jacques. La Dissemination. Collection �Tel Quel� Aux Editions de Seuil Paris 1972. Half-title TP Half-title 9 � 407 4 leafs Octavo. First Edition. Dissemination includes a collection of essays on Plato Mallarme and Sollers. It represents one of Derrida�s most complex analyses of the �trace� as writing while serving as a critique of absolute knowledge in written texts. Derrida's central contention is that language is haunted by dispersal absence loss the risk of unmeaning a risk which is starkly embodied in all writing. The distinction between philosophy and literature therefore becomes of secondary importance. Philosophy vainly attempts to control the irrecoverable dissemination of its own meaning it strives�against the grain of language�to offer a sober revelation of truth. Literature�on the other hand�flaunts its own meretriciousness abandons itself to the Dionysiac play of language. In Dissemination�more than any previous work�Derrida joins in the revelry weaving a complex pattern of puns verbal echoes and allusions intended to 'deconstruct' both the pretension of criticism to tell the truth about literature and the pretension of philosophy to the literature of truth."�Peter Dews New Statesman CONDITION: A very good copy of one of Derrida�s most popular works. In printed wrappers with some browning to spine. Usual review copy perforations 'SP' to last few leaves and rear wrapper.

DESCARTES Rene
Les principes de la philosophie Principles of Philosophy
Paris: H. Le Gras & E. P�pingu� 1651. Second edition. vellum. Very Good . Second French Edition of Descartes Principles of Philosophy �One of the Grandest Hypotheses Which Have Ever Been Formulated� DESCARTES Rene Les principes de la philosophie Principles of Philosophy translated from the Latin Claude Picot H. Le Gras & E. P�pingu� Paris 1651. 2 Blank Leaves TP i � viii = �Epistre� ix � xxxiv = Preface xxxv � lviii = contents 1 leaf = half title 20 leaves = full-page engraved plates 1 � 420 1 leaf. Quarto. Second French Edition. Second French edition of Descartes� system of physics a classic in the history of science and thought. The book �proposes to set forth the genesis of the existing universe� in the celebrated theory of vortices� one of the grandest hypotheses which have ever been formulated to account by mechanical processes for the movement of the universe. It ended the old Aristotelian distinctions� it banished the spirits and genii to which even Kepler had assigned the guardianship of the planetary movement.� Encyclopedia Britannica 11th ed. Based in part on his then unpublished work Le monde which treated the creation and function of the universe in completely mechanistic terms Descartes� Principia provides a systematic statement of his metaphysics and natural philosophy. In the first part De principiis cognitionis human� On the Principles of Human Knowledge Descartes revisits his famous proofs for existence �ego cogito ergo sum� p. 2 final line and God before dealing with the nature of motion rest force and action. He defines motion in Book I and distinguishes the difference between translation and �the force that brings about this translation�. Descartes was careful in the Principia to qualify his mechanistic Copernican views with the idea that all motion is relative � his hesitancy being inspired by the Church�s condemnation of Galileo in 1633. �His vortical theory allowed him to argue that since the earth is at rest in its surrounding medium it remains unmoved although it together with its entire vortex necessarily circles the sun.� Norman Descartes� system represents a truly comprehensive look at the universe in a fundamentally new mechanistic and non-teleological way. His vortex theory was the starting point for all serious work in physical theory in the mid-seventeenth century including Newton. The fourth and final part of the work contains the first scientific theory of magnetism and observations on heat gravity and electricity. CONDITION: Very good in contemporary vellum head and tail unobtrusively repaired. Minor cosmetic splitting along hinge but still very tightly bound. Complete with all 20 full-page engraved plates all bound after first half-title page. A beautiful clean bright copy of an early edition of one of Descartes� most important works. <br/><br/>PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST H. Le Gras & E. P�pingu� hardcover
