Felix Ravaisson's seminal philosophical essay, "Of Habit," was
first published in French in 1838. It traces the origins and
development of habit and proposes the principle of habit as the
foundation of human nature. This metaphysics of habit steers a path
between materialism and idealism in one of the best and most
sophisticated treatments of the topic. Ravaisson's work was pivotal
in the development of European thought and has had a significant
influence on such key thinkers such as Proust, Bergson, Heidegger,
Merleau-Ponty, Derrida, and Deleuze. This edition makes this
important work available to an English-speaking audience for the
first time. Clare Carlisle and Mark Sinclair provide a
comprehensive introduction to Ravaisson's life, works, and enduring
influence that clearly situates Ravaisson's text within the
European philosophical tradition. The translation also includes a
thorough commentary on the text that illuminates its arguments and
its context. >
