Flix Ravaissons 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. Ravaissons work was pivotal in the
development of European thought and has had a significant influence
on such key thinkers as Proust, Bergson, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty,
Derrida, and Deleuze. This edition makes this remarkable and hugely
important work available to an English-speaking audience for the
first time. Clare Carlisle and Mark Sinclair provide a
comprehensive introduction to Ravaissons life, works and enduring
influence that clearly situates Ravaissons text within the European
philosophical tradition. The translation also includes a thorough
commentary on the text that illuminates its arguments and its
context.
