Description
Maine de Biran's 'Of Immediate Apperception' is a foundational work in his philosophy of the will, first presented in 1807. Written as part of a competition on self-awareness and immediate apperception, this text marks a significant turning point in Biran's thought, as he develops his ideas in dialogue with British empiricism. In 'Of Immediate Apperception', Biran explores the concept of the 'lived body' and breaks away from earlier influences. This edition features an editor's introduction, glossary, and bibliography, providing valuable context for understanding Biran's pivotal contribution to French philosophy. His work had a lasting impact on later thinkers, including Ravaisson and Bergson. This publication offers a comprehensive look at Biran's thought, shedding light on his unique approach to self-awareness and the human experience.
