Reviews

This edition and translation of Maine de Biran's text on the relationship between the physical and the moral is to be greatly welcomed. Praised as a metaphysician by Bergson, and this volume gives a good indication of the accuracy of Bergson's insight. Biran's text offers a novel account of the relationship between the will, knowledge, and morality, and opens up possibilities of thinking that diverge from Kant and the Kantian orthodoxy in philosophy. The translation is first-rate and the volume contains invaluable editorial material. This is a must read for anyone interested in the origins of modern French philosophy and in key developments in French thought from phenomenology to post-structuralism. Keith Ansell-Pearson, Professor of Philosophy, University of Warwick, UK Among English-speaking philosophers, interest has been growing in nineteenth-century French philosophy in general, and the work of Pierre Maine de Biran in particular. This is a timely translation of one of Biran's most important works, and it contains helpful editorial material and introductory essays by leading specialists that contextualize his thought. The translator and editor, together with the contributors, have done a wonderful job in making Biran's work more accessible to an English-speaking public. Mark Sinclair, Senior Lecturer, Department of History, Politics and Philosophy, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK
