A Utopian socialist who studied in Europe with Guizot and Hegel, Brisbane discovered Fourier's Traité d'l'association domestique-agricole in 1830 and became a confirmed Fourierist. After studying for two years under Fourier, he returned to the United States in 1834, publishing in 1840 his Social Destiny of Man, an exposition of Fourier's ideas that greatly impressed Horace Greeley, who began with Brisbane a newspaper devoted to Fourierist Associationism, The Future, which only lasted two months (then, as now, radical ideas having relatively little mass appeal). In 1843 he published a second Fourierist book, Association; or, A Concise Exposition of the Practical Part of Fourier's Social Science. The DAB article on Brisbane notes that as "a practical reformer, however, he was not a success. Not only was the scheme he advocated Utopian in character, but Brisbane himself, modest and somewhat self-distrustful, was quite lacking in any real capacity for leadership.
An important mid-19th century treatise on interbreeding among human races by one of the founders of anthropology. Broca is equally well known in neuroscience for discovering the cortical site for speech.
Born and educated in Aberdeen, Burton qualified for the Bar in 1831 but barely practiced law. A frequent contributor to Blackwood's Magazine, he is best known as a historian and for his 1846 life of Hume.
OCLC locates only two copies: Cornell & Yale. Apparently the first appearance of Campanella's De monarchia hispanica, which first appeared in Latin in 1640. It appears to be more of an abridged summary of the text (originally written by Campanella in 1600).Campanella's important treatise on contemporary politics and one of his two important utopian books, the other being the more famous Civitas solis. In the present work Campanella advocates a theocratic monarchy under the aegis of Spain and the Church. "Campanella evinces, among ideas singularly strange and erroneous, considerable practical knowledge of civil government. To extend Spanish rule in Europe he advised intermarriage of the Spaniards with other nationalities, urged the establishment of schools of astronomy, mathematics, mechanics, etc., and the immediate opening of a naval college to develop the resources of the New World and further the interests of its inhabitants. In general he advocated natural honesty and justice and the universal love of god and man in place of the utilitarian principles and egoism of Machiavelli" [Catholic Encyclopedia article on Campanella].

PMM 295. One of the foundation texts for sociology and an influential text for the philosophy of science. Comte's law of three states "(first formulated in 1822) states that human thought, in its historical development, passes successively through three distinct phases: the theological (or fictional) state, the metaphysical (or abstract) state, and the positive (or scientific) state. In the theological state, man exlains the world around him in anthropomorphic terms, reducing natural processes to the whims of manlike gods and agencies. In the metaphysical state, deities are replaced by powers, potencies, forces, and other imperceptible causal agencies. The positive state repudiates both causal forces and gods and restricts itself to expressing precise, verifiable correlations between observable phenomena. While Comte believes that the theological and metaphysical states are based on a misconception of natural processes, he insists that they were essential preliminaries to the emergence of positive knowledge" [DSB: III: 375].
Lectures originally given by Comte in 1847, and then transformed into the greater part of the first volume of his four-volume System of Positive Polity, which was issued in English 1875-1877, with the first volume reprinting this text along with the first section on introductory principles (chapters I-III) of the main treatise.

A key book by one of the founders of American sociology., who in 1894 was appointed the first full-time professor of sociology in American at Columbia University. As with all of Giddings' writings, this late exposition of his "system" is very much informed by evolutionary and Spencerian thinking, arguing here that social phenomena result from two variables: the psychosocial situation and the response to it, offering a new definition of the field, "Pluralistic behavior is the subject-matter of the psychology of society, otherwise called sociology" (p. 252). See the article on Giddings in the IESS, 6: 175-177, from which my description is taken.

David Smith, Bibliography of Helvetius E.1B, page 121 and his intricate discussion of the book's publication and suppression, pages 105-114. Also see his earlier "The Publication of Helvetius' De L'esprit (1758-9)," Yale French Studies 18:332-344. The great 18th century argument for environmentalism. Immediately banned, De l'esprit became an ideological causes celebres of the 18th century and greatly influenced Bentham's formulation of utilitarianism. Helvetius maintained along with Condillac that all forms of intellectual activity have their origin in sensation; in ethics he judged the good in terms of self-satisfaction, regarding self-interest as the sole motive for action.
- Tercier, the censor appointed by Malesherbes, directeur de la Librarie, OKed the book for publication, possibly without ever reading it, and the book was granted an approbation and privilège, allowing Helvetius to claim he had done all the law required. Printing must have been finished by late June, 1758, at which time Charles Alexandre Salley, a book-trade inspector, alerted Malesherbes to the book's anti-religious bent. Malesherbes immediately revoked its privilège and ordered Durand either to suspend or delay publication (the French "suspendre" can mean either). Only a handful of these first issue copies were released and Smith thinks it quite possible no copies were offered for sale (p. 111), in which case what he calls the first issue is really a first state with uncancelled sheets. A new censor was appointed, now known to have been abbé Jean-Jacques Barthélemy. He "cut surprisingly little, indeed only the most blatant attacks on the Church and its dogma, notably a long note in the first chapter showing that many saints and Church fathers had contested the spirituality of the soul." [Smith p. 112]. Helvetius then wrote harmless passages of the same length as those cut, with Barthélemy vetting the new material. The 2nd issue was finally put on sale on 27 July, 1758. In short order the Queen and Dauphin complained, not least because the work was printed by their official printer. Malesherbes promptly ordered the book withdrawn from sale and on 10 August cancelled its privilège. Helvetius was forced by the Queen to write a retraction in mid-August, and again by his mother in late August to write a much more abject disavowal of his work.
- Naturally all this notoriety only ensured that this was now a must-read book. "Publishers both inside and outside France were quick to bring out illicit editions" [Smith p. 113]. Even Durand, who probably printed the second quarto edition, also 1758, may have printed as well the 3-volume 12mo 1758 edition (Smith's E.3) with the Amsterdam imprint of Arkstée & Merkus, with whom Durand had a commercial relationship.
Clandestine re-issue of the text of the 1st edition with line 1 of page 5 reading 'mon ', preceded by the very rare suppressed first edition, only a few copies of which were printed and distributed to friends, and the censored 2nd edition. See D. W. Smith's "The Publication of Helvetius' De L'esprit (1758-9)", Yale French Studies 18: 332-344. Durand had had the foresight to hide the type for the first edition, which allowed him to produce this slightly altered clandestine edition.The great 18th century argument for environmentalism. Immediately banned, De l'esprit became an ideological causes celebres of the 18th century and greatly influenced Bentham's formulation of utilitarianism. Helvetius maintained along with Condillac that all forms of intellectual activity have their origin in sensation; in ethics he judged the good in terms of self-satisfaction, regarding self-interest as the sole motive for action.
Diamond 4.4, 17.4, and 20.6.
Immediately banned, De l'esprit — the only book of Helvetius published in his lifetime — caused an uproar. Brett notes that Helvetius "developed the positivism of La Mettrie in the direction of social anthropology" and sees La Mettrie as "probably responsible for the general tendency exhibited by Helvetius." [Brett's History of Psychology, abridged version, pp. 524 & 522]. Helvetius' subject is decidedly not "mind," though that is how his untranslatable title got rendered in English, but man as a social unit construed as an intellectual, moral, and political creature. It is no wonder then that Beccaria said that Helvetius was the inspiration for his legal and penal reforms. Diamond regards Helvetius as an unacknowledged forerunner of Watsonian behaviorism and as anticipating the 20th century focus on interests in vocational counseling.
One of the great Marxist-sociological books published by the Frankfurt School. Includes contributions by Horkheimer, Fromm, Marcuse, Landauer, Wittfogel, Schachtel, Kurt Goldstein, Marie Jahoda-Lazarsfeld, and others.Erich Fromm's socio-psychological essay in the theoretical first section (pages 77-135) is the origin of the concept of the authoritarian character, here termed "der autoritär-masochistische Charakter." In his important 1941 book, Escape From Freedom (originally published in English) Fromm changed the term to "authoritarian character" because the psychoanalytic concept of the sadomasochistic character was too closely tied to perversion and neurosis. Horkheimer wrote the introductory essay and Marcuse the historical essay, both also in the theoretical section.

De Lanessan was elected to the Municipal Council of Paris in 1879. After his election to the Chamber of Deputies for the 5th arrondissement of Paris in 1881 he gradually veered from the extreme Radical party to the Republican Union and identified himself with the cause of colonial expansion. From 1891 to 1894 he was civil and military governor of French IndoChina. During his much criticized administration he consolidated French influence in Annam and Cambodia. He was recalled in 1894, and published in the following year an apologia for his administration. He published numerous books on social and colonial topics. [Taken from the 11th Britannica].
Legoyt was a widely published French statistician and economist.
Trained in philosophy, Lévy-Bruhl was in 1896 appointed professor of the history of modern philosophy at the Sorbonne, just when his interests turned to anthropology. An armchair anthropologist like Frazer, Lévy-Bruhl published between 1910 and 1938 six books on the primitive mind, of which this is a translation of the third. He held that the thinking of "primitive" peoples is both prelogical and mystical. By "mystical" he meant that primitive peoples experience the world as identical with themselves; by "prelogical" he meant that, indifferent to contradictions, they deem all things identical with one another yet somehow still distinct. Jung relied on Lévy-Bruhl for his knowledge of "primitive" peoples but explained primitive mentality psychologically rather than sociologically. Whereas for Lévy-Bruhl "primitive" thinking evolutionarily preceded the "modern" logical type of thinking of civilized peoples, for Jung it was a universal characteristic of all humans.

About half of the second volume is devoted to Joan of Arc.Madden undertook a sociological & historical study of "some of the principal Epidemic Disorders of the Mind, which have formerly prevailed in Europe" to find out how dependent such epidemics were on ignorance and superstition. Instead he discovered that "the greatest fanaticisms this world ever saw have not originated with the poor, the unenlightened and uneducated; they have originated with the educated classes, with those who do not labor manually …" Hunter & Macalpine pp.1039-1042.
One of the most influential 18th century British contributions to social & economic thought, the first edition of which is very rare. Mandeville strongly favored free trade and the production of luxuries, but opposed educating the poor on the grounds that knowledge multiplies our desires without providing the means for fulfilling them. Adam Smith was much influenced by Mandeville.
The "Vindication" first appeared in the 1724 third edition. Mandeville's famous book originated in a 433-line poem published as a pamphlet in 1705, "The Grumbling Hive: or Knaves Turn'd Honest," which made the central argument of the Fable that selfishness and private vices resulted in public virtues, a direct prefiguration of Adam Smith's laissez-faire economics. Mandeville's defense of the numerous attacks against his pamphlet led to his vastly expanding his original poem into a full-scale book, the 1714 Fable of the Bees.One of the most influential 18th century British contributions to social & economic thought and a direct precursor of the liberal economic tradition, the first edition of which is very rare. Though strongly favoring free trade and the production of luxuries, Mandeville opposed educating the poor on the grounds that knowledge multiplies our desires without providing the means for fulfilling them. Adam Smith was much influenced by Mandeville.

PMM 197; Kress 5057. The great Enlightenment synthesis of 18th century thought about law, history, government, and individual rights in which Montesquieue formulated the philosophical substrucutre of democracy. Comte and Durkheim viewed Montesquieu as the most important precursor of sociology, while Ernst Cassirer and Franz Neumann saw him as the founder of ideal-type analysis, and Sir Frederick Pollock as the father of modern historical research and of a comparative theory of politics and law based on observation of actual systems.
The title was the name given to it by the photographer, Eva Korn. Born in Czechoslovakia and a Holocaust surviver, Eva emigrated to the United States in 1953 from Switzerland, where she was studying photography. Photographs she had taken in 1951 of the then-new country of Israel were exhibited in Switzerland at the World Exhibit of Photography. In 1997 28 of her 1951 black & white photographs were exhibited, along with color photographs of Israel taken in 1996, as "Envision Israel: The Land, The Heart, The People." The show traveled for 12 months through the East Bay area of California. In the U.S. she continued her work as a photographer, married the penologist Richard Ross Korn (1923-2002), and also trained in and practiced family therapy. An associate of Moreno's and practitioner of psychodrama, Richard Korn was at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice (in the Department of Sociology). He also served for a time as assistant warden and director of treatment at the New Jersey State Prison at Trenton. He and Eva moved to Berkeley in 1965 when he joined the faculty at the University of California, Berkeley, as Assistant Professor of Criminology.Founder of psychodrama, Moreno was one of the founders of group therapy. In 1909 he enrolled in philosophy at the University of Vienna, transferring the next year to medicine and obtaining his MD in 1917. Confronted with a suicidal patient in 1921, he had the patient act out theatrically his own death — the beginning of psychodrama. Around the same time he founded the theater of spontaneity (Peter Lorre was one of its first actors). In 1925 he emigrated to New York where he founded the Impromptu Theatre, which had its own magazine from 1931. In 1934 his Who Shall Survive summarized his research into the psychosociology of sociometry.

Howes M-803.
A key book in the history of anthropology and Morgan's most important book. Born in Rochester, NY, and trained as a lawyer, Morgan made his mark instead as an ethnologist and anthropologist. In Ancient Society Morgan proposed that societies progressed through three stages: savagery, barbarism, and civilization. Morgan viewed social progress as linked to technology, and social change as always having its origin in changes in technology. His theory became a milestone in social darwinism. Marx & Engels relied on his ideas to fill in their account of the development of capitalist society.

Prichard's popularization of his important Researches into the Physical History of Man (first published 1813; from the 1826 second edition on "Mankind" instead of "Man"), in which he argued for and assembled a massive amount of anthropological evidence for the unitary origin of the human race, an issue that was a lifelong interest of Prichard's (his 1808 University of Edinburgh dissertation was on the topic).One of the first to conceive the possibility of a comparative psychology, Prichard compiled evidence in four different fields to demonstrate mankind's unity: the physiological and and psychological character of races; the demonstration of stable breeding populations formed by racial hybridization; comparative racial anatomy; ethnographic investigation. [DSB XI: 137].
Sabin 65474. The best edition, with the largest number of plates, of Prichard's popularization of his Researches into the Physical History of Man (1st edition 1813, from the 1826 second edition on "Mankind" instead of "Man"), in which Prichard argued for and assembled a massive amount of anthropological evidence for the unitary origin of the human race.
PMM 303. "Prichard, a Bristol physician, classified and systematized facts relating to the races of man better than any previous writer … By the third edition the work was expanded to 5 vols. (1836-47) and contained many color plates. In that form it synthesized all then known information about the various races of mankind, forming a basis for modern ethnological research" [GM-5 #159]. Though it was in the second edition that Prichard first set forth the idea of the unity of mankind, it is in the third edition that he most expansively argued on the basis of historical and linguistic analysis that the various human groups were all connected and thus that the human race formed a single species, ignoring the issues of genesis and color that he had been concerned with in previous editions. Prichard is equally famous for coining the concept of moral insanity (our modern psychopathy), first widely introduced into psychiatry in his 1835 Treatise on Insanity.One of the first to conceive the possibility of a comparative psychology, Prichard compiled evidence in four different fields to demonstrate mankind's unity: the physiological and and psychological character of races; the demonstration of stable breeding populations formed by racial hybridization; comparative racial anatomy; ethnographic investigation.
