    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

    Imp. Gissey, Bordelet & Ganeau|Paris 1739|10 x 17 cm|2 tomes reliés en un volume
    First edition, rare. The second work, bound with the first and with only a half-title (without lack), is by Aubert de la Chesnaye des Bois.

    A satirical work mocking the Cartesians and the question of the soul and reason. Bougeant proposed that animals had recovered the souls of the wicked; this allusion, even ironic, to the transmigration of souls led to exile by the Jesuits. The work had considerable success in Europe, and is above all an attack against Descartes' mechanistic conception.
