Title: Felix Ravaisson (Jean-Gaspard-FéLIX Laché Ravaisson-Mollien). (B&W Engraving)
Description: Paris: Lemercier, [1800s]. Original B&W gravure. 14.75 x 10.5 inches. Very Good. Half inch chip and wrinkle in bottom left corner. Signed in the plate. Scarce. (23 October 1813 - 18 May 1900) French philosopher, 'perhaps France's most influential philosopher in the second half of the nineteenth century'. He was originally and remains more commonly known as Félix Ravaisson. His 'seminal' 'key' work was De l'habitude (1838), translated in English as Of Habit. Ravaisson's philosophy is in the tradition of French Spiritualism, which was initiated by Pierre Maine de Biran (1766 - 1824) with the essay "The Influence of Habit on the Faculty of Thinking" (1802). However, Ravaisson developed his doctrine as what he called 'spiritualist realism' and 'spiritualist positivism', and - according to Ravaisson scholar Mark Sinclair - can be thought of as founding 'the school of contingency'. His most well known and influential successor was Henri Bergson, with whom the tradition can be seen to end during the 1930s; although the 'lineage' of this 'philosophy of life' can be seen to return in the late twentieth century with Gilles Deleuze. .
