Guillaume Hyacinthe BOUGEANT

Amusement philosophique sur le langage des bestes [Ensemble] Lettre a Madame La Comtesse D*** Pour Servir De Supplément À L'Amusement Philosophique Sur Le Langage Des Bestes

Chez Gissey, Bordelet, Ganeau, à Paris 1739, In-12 (9x16,5cm), (4) 157pp. (3) ; 46pp., relié.


first edition. The second book, connected with the first and with only a title wrong (without missing), Aubert is the Chesnaye Hood.
Binding in full brown sheepskin contemporary. Back with nerves decorated. As an exhibit in red morocco. Upper jaw split in head and tail. Corners bumped.
Satirical work mocking Cartesian and the question of the soul and reason. Proposed moving the animals have recovered the soul of the wicked; this allusion, ironic in the transmigration of souls led an exile from the Jesuit college of La Fleche. The book was a huge success in Europe, and is mainly an attack against the mechanistic view of Descartes. --- Please note that the translation in english is done automatically, we apologize if the formulas are inaccurate.
