Full calf marbled time. Back tooled raised florets box-4. Part of title and volume number in red morocco. Head cover of Volume I pulled in part. 4 corners bumped. A pale wetness in Volume 2 from the second sheet on the top half of the pages on the first third of the book and the last. Soon engaged in the path of skepticism and critical vision, Boureau Deslandes is'' one of the philosophers who prepared the attacks Encyclopaedists against religion and superstition, and used all his philosophy of Enlightenment. His History of Philosophy voluntarily out of this type of work. "He defines his position by challenging compilations, anecdotal biographies, attempts to reconcile ancient and modern, between paganism, Judaism and Christianity's erudition Boureau-Deslandes is considerable. Makes it an important part in the contextualization of different knowledge, and proposes a scheme of four "ages" to study, in each contemporary, "what science was included in [the] name [of philosophy]."
