内容説明

The first two volumes of the Correspondance generale d'Helvetius inspired international acclaim. Now the third volume offers us further insight into a variety of aspects of life in eighteenth-century France.Claude-Adrian Helvetius (1715-71) was a wealthy and high-ranking member of French society. He was acquainted with the leading political and social figures of his time and, through family, with the court and government which he occasionally served in a diplomatic capacity. Philosopher, encyclopedist, and author of the explosive De l'Esprit, he and his wife, Anne Catherine de Ligneville, corresponded with the great and influential throughout Europe.The letters in this volume were written between 1761 and 1774, a period in which Helvetius enjoyed the fruits of his fame, travelled to England (1764) and Prussia (1765), and produced two books, Le Bonheur and De l'homme, which were published after his death.

内容説明

This is the fourth of five volumes of the letters of the French philosopher Claude Adrien Helvetius (1715-1771), author of the controversial De l'Esprit (1758). Featuring the correspondence of Mme Helvetius, nee Anne Catherine de Ligniville (1722-1800), in the years following her husband's death, this volume also includes letters by and to Helvetius discovered since the publication of the first three volumes.Mme HelvTtius enjoyed an active widowhood, welcoming to her salon in Auteuil a group of intellectuals who came to be known as the Ideologues. A close friend of Benjamin Franklin, she was involved in political events before and during the French Revolution, as well as in Napoleon's coup d'etat. In the last letter of the series her grandson describes her burial in her garden, which took place without religious or revolutionary ceremony in the presence of all her favourite pets.Most of the newly discovered letters are addressed to Helvetius by figures as important as d'Alembert, Boulanger, Chastellux, Saint-Lambert, Servan, Thieriot, and Trublet. Some of these complete an existing exchange, others provide dates for letters already published.The fifth and final volume will be devoted primarily to a comprehensive index. It will also include a chronological list of all the letters, corrections and modifications, and other useful material.

内容説明

This second volume of the "Correspondance g?n?rale d'Helv?tius" covers the period of the publication and reception of Helv?tius' controversial first work, "De l'Esprit" (1758). It begins with a letter of January 1757, in which Helv?tius recounts the attempt by Damiens on the life of Louis XV, and ends in December 1760 when the author, having been attacked on the stage of the Th?atre-Francais but eulogized in foreign journals, is contemplating voluntary exile. In the meantime "De l'Esprit" provoked an uprecedented outcry from the court and from the religious and civil authorities. Denigrated as the epitome of all dangerous philosophic trends of the age, condemned as atheistic, materialistic, sacriligious, immoral, and subversive, it enjoyed an immense "succes de scandale." Rather than examining the puzzles and paradoxes which surround the "affaire de l'Esprit," this volume presents the documents upon which solutions may be based. Helv?tius' own letters, often written hastily, under stress, and in fear they might be opened by the Cabinet noir, are less revealing than the letters between other protagonists in the "affaire" the Cardinal de Bernis and the Duke de Choiseul, Jean-Omer Joly de Fleury, Malesherbes, Saint-Florentin, Tercier, and Louis xv himself. It is these letters, together with the appendixes containing edicts, retractions, an condemnations that shed new light not only on the development of the "affaire" but also on the complex workings of the ancien regime
