Sort: Oldest first
-
A French philosophical and metaphysical writer; born in Paris, July 20, 1754; died there, March 10, 1836. Though in repeated peril during the French Revolution, he survived to write "Elements of Ideology" (1817), a development of Condillac's philosophy, and in part an exposition of what passed then for economics. His "Delineation of the Politics of the World's Nations" (1820), and prior works, received considerable notice in this country through Jefferson's praise in his letters.
