Description
Londres: [n.p.,], 1755. FIRST EDITION. Woodcut headpieces and decorations. Contemporary calf, boards and corners worn and rubbed, joints starting; marbled endpapers, illegible stamp on title. Overall a very good copy. First edition. As with the philosophical musings of Locke and Condillac, Bonnet here reveals his own philosophy of psychology, ushering in the age of behavioral neuroscience. He treats the fields of psychology and education, tracing the evolution of human psychology from childhood to adulthood and its relationship with nature, close to Condillac’s sensationalism. Newton’s concept that auditory and visual images were transmitted by vibrations and that these vibrations were transduced to vibrations in nerves strongly influenced Bonnet, who presents here for the first time a rather more elaborate model of the internal representation of ideas. Bonnet’s movement or “vibration” model proposes that an understanding of animal and human behavior requires, first, knowledge of how the nervous system functions. Bonnet’s focus on the current standards of psychology and education are based on a foundation of tolerance and understanding; for example he criticizes the teaching of the catechism, aimed at instilling terror with the evocation of angels and demons, punishments and chastisements, rather than at educating nature and feelings. With the present work, Bonnet became a pioneer in the study of the physiological bases of behavior, and his theories and experiments on the relationship between psychological and physiological processes were much ahead of his time. The fictitious place of publication “London” seems to be explained by the short preface in which the author addresses his unnamed friends, expressing his thanks to them and dedicating the book. Blake 58; DSB II, pp. 286-287; Gascoigne 10837.1.
