This book, from 1792, Volume I, encompasses the collected works of Étienne Bonnot de Condillac, a significant philosopher of the French Enlightenment. As a member of the prestigious Académie Française, Condillac was renowned for his contributions to epistemology and psychology. The first volume of this collection, published at the height of the French Revolution, likely includes some of his most influential essays, such as "Essay on the origin of human knowledge," which investigates the origins and development of human knowledge. This work argues for empiricism, stating that all knowledge is derived from sensory experience. Additionally, the volume might contain treatises on language and thought, demonstrating Condillac's belief in the integral role of language in shaping thoughts and ideas. The collected works serve to illuminate his impact on later intellectual movements, and his ideas would profoundly influence the development of French philosophical thought, notably within education, linguistics, and the theory of mind.
