Book Description
La connaissance de l'esprit humain est un problème étudié de toute antiquité, et sa solution complète n'est pas encore terminée. Il n'est plus contesté aujourd'hui que les Anciens plaçaient, en tête de toutes sciences, celle de la connaissance de soi-même, ainsi que de chaque être, puisque l'identité n'existe pas dans la nature. Ne nous étonnons pas qu'après son bel ouvrage "Reviendra-t-il ?", notre grand et consciencieux ami Victor Simon, né psychologue, possédant des facultés, des capacités dont l'évidence ne peut plus être discutée, nous présente maintenant une nouvelle étude, qui s'apparente à celles que les Maîtres d'un passé lointain nous ont légués en partie.

Book Description
This study looks at the lives of the most famous "wild children" of eighteenth-century Europe, showing how they open a window onto European ideas about the potential and perfectibility of mankind. Julia V. Douthwaite recounts reports of feral children such as the wild girl of Champagne (captured in 1731 and baptized as Marie-Angélique Leblanc), offering a fascinating glimpse into beliefs about the difference between man and beast and the means once used to civilize the uncivilized. A variety of educational experiments failed to tame these feral children by the standards of the day. After telling their stories, Douthwaite turns to literature that reflects on similar experiments to perfect human subjects. Her examples range from utopian schemes for progressive childrearing to philosophical tales of animated statues, from revolutionary theories of regenerated men to Gothic tales of scientists run amok. Encompassing thinkers such as Rousseau, Sade, Defoe, and Mary Shelley, Douthwaite shows how the Enlightenment conceived of mankind as an infinitely malleable entity, first with optimism, then with apprehension. Exposing the darker side of eighteenth-century thought, she demonstrates how advances in science gave rise to troubling ethical concerns, as parents, scientists, and politicians tried to perfect mankind with disastrous results.

Book Description
This book analyses the complex and wide-ranging theory of language which lies at the heart of Ballanche's philosophical system. The volume consists of a detailed analysis of this theory of language, both in the context of the historical, religious, social and political system it supports, and also in relation to the earlier and contemporary philosophies of language which it seeks either to uphold or to disprove.

Book Description
Charles Richet was one of the most remarkable figures in the history of medical science. He is best known for his work on the body's immune reactions to foreign substances for which he won the Nobel Prize in medicine in 1913. Richet was also a poet, playwright, historian, bibliographer, political activist, classical scholar, and pioneer in aircraft design.Brain, Mind, and Medicine is the first major biography of Richet in any language. Wolf brilliantly situates Richet's work in the intellectual currents of Europe during the latter half of the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Richet was a contemporary of Wilhelm Wundt and William James. All three considered psychology to be an aspect of physiology governed by biological laws. But while James and Wundt considered consciousness as a process influenced by experience without much reference to neural structures, Richet's focus was on the brain itself as shaped by genetics and experience and serving as the organ of the mind.Brain, Mind, and Medicine illuminates a significant chapter in scientific and cultural history. It should be read by medical scientists, historians, and individuals interested in medicine and psychology.

Ces propos sont illustrés par de nombreux faits impliquant des animaux, plusieurs radiestésistes et l'auteur lui-même.
