De la Recherche de la Vérité. 

Paris, Bordelet, 1749.
More Details >
Sold

During the publication of this treatise (first ed. : 1675), the first published by Malebranche, his contemporaries especially retained Cartesianism: dualism of thought and extension, rule of evidence, method using the Regulae of Descartes, influence of Dioptrics and the Treatise on Man, Cartesian physics. Even the concept of the soul, a simple occasion for the movements of the body, could be drawn from the Cartesians La Forge and Cordemoy. Malebranche still appears as one of many Cartesians trying to relate to Augustinianism. The break with Cartesianism came with the publication of Enlightenments on the Search for Truth (1678). Until then centered on man, Malebranche's thought here operates a theocentric reversal. From now on, everything starts from God. All physical relationships, like all moral values, are only the expression of an immutable Order.
Many figures in the text.

Cours d'Histoire Constitutionnelle donnés à l'École libre des sciences politiques. 

s.l., s.n., 1886.
More Details >
2000 €

Original manuscripts.
Rare and well-preserved set of two constitutional history courses given at Sciences Po Paris in 1886 by the founders of the school: Emile Boutmy and Alexandre Ribot.
Perfectly readable and careful manuscripts by a writer who will remain unknown who was a listener of Emile Boutmy's course on the Constitution of the United States in May-June 1886 and the course on the French Constitution since 1789 given by Alexandre Ribot in February-March 1886.
Created by Emile Boutmy in the aftermath of the 1870 defeat and the Paris Commune, the École Libre des Sciences Politiques (now known as Sciences-Po) aimed to teach political science as a positive science. She will form the elite of french politicians until today.
1886 was the last year in which Boutmy gave his course on the Constitution of the United States; we know a transcription of it in the notes left by Pierre de Coubertin who was also a listener of this course the same year. A comparison of the transcription of Coubertin's notes and our manuscript leads us to believe that our collection is more faithful (seems to be a word for word transcription) of Boutmy's teaching.

Alexandre Ribot's course on the French Constitution (second part of a more extensive course on European constitutions) leaves an important part on the birth of the Third Republic whose constitutional laws were only passed in 1875.
