Publisher's Synopsis
De L'Espirit, also known as Essays On The Mind And Its Several Faculties, is a philosophical work written by French philosopher Claude Adrien Helvetius. The book explores the nature of the human mind and its various abilities and faculties. Helvetius argues that all human knowledge and behavior can be traced back to the mind and its innate capacities, rather than external factors such as God or tradition. He examines topics such as perception, memory, imagination, and reasoning, and proposes that these faculties are not fixed but can be developed and improved through education and experience. Helvetius also discusses the role of emotions and passions in human behavior, and how they can be harnessed for positive ends. The book was controversial at the time of its publication in 1758, as it challenged traditional religious and moral beliefs. However, it has since been recognized as an important work in the history of philosophy and psychology.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1809 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
