First edition.
Destined to an ecclesiastical career, Condillac (1714-1780) never exercised priestly functions. In Paris, he made friends with the great writers and philosophers of the time, including Fontenelle, Rousseau, Diderot, d'Alembert, Voltaire, Turgot and Cabanis. His works earned him great renown and, in 1758, King Louis XV sent him to Parma as tutor to the infant Ferdinand, his grandson.
Condillac studies here the abuse of systems, the prejudice of innate ideas, the system of Monads, and refutes at length Spinosism.
A very fine copy.
