A work which caused a sensation upon its release, taking up the ideas of Rousseau, this novel is in line with the myth of the Good Savage.
Driven by the Spanish invasion, an Indian takes refuge in an unknown valley in South America with his two young children. He raises them in the bosom of good nature, in innocence and virtue, and they all live happily until they welcome into their health a young European who brings into this Eden, like the serpent of Genesis, the vices of civilization.
MALEBRANCHE, Nicolas.
De la Recherche de la Vérité.
Paris, Bordelet, 1749.
More Details >
250 €
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.

First edition.
Paul Lévy (1886-1971) French mathematician is among the founders of modern probability theory. We also owe him important considerations on the stable stochastic laws which bear his name as well as on martingales. In 1920, he was appointed professor of analysis at the École Polytechnique and on this occasion discovered the discipline that would leave his mark the most: the calculation of probabilities. It can be said that most of the essential concepts of probability theory derive from him.
