This volume explores the philosophy of Étienne Bonnot de
Condillac. It presents, for the first time, English-language essays
on Condillac’s philosophy, making the complexity and
sophistication of his arguments and their influence on early modern
philosophy accessible to a wider readership. Condillac’s
reflections on the origin and nature of human abilities, such as
the ability to reason, reflect and use language, took philosophy in
distinctly new directions. This volume showcases the diversity of
themes and methods inspired by Condillac’s work. The chapters are
divided into four thematic sections. Part 1 highlights themes and
discussions that were central to Condillac’s own philosophical
thinking, thus laying the ground for the subsequent discussions
that trace Condillac’s influence in the 19th century and beyond.
Part 2 focuses on the different ways in which Condillac’s
philosophy has been taken up, criticised and further developed in
France. Part 3 discusses thinkers working in other European
countries and parts of the world who took up Condillac’s work.
Finally, Part 4 looks at the practical applications of
Condillac’s philosophy in a variety of different fields, such as
economics, psychology, psychopathology and deaf studies. Condillac
and His Reception will appeal to scholars and advanced students
working on early modern philosophy, history of science and
intellectual history.
