Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Treatise on Man, Vol. 2: His Intellectual Faculties and His Education; A Posthumous Work of M. Helvetius "To change the characters we must change the temperaments; to desire in like manner to change the understandings, and of a fool to make a man of talents, is to desire to make a fair man brown. How can we form the hearts and understandings by one common model? Do not our talents, our virtues and vices, and consequently our characters, depend entirely on our organization." 2. Proposition. He says, p. 164, 165, 166, vol. v. of the Eloisa, "When children are brought up in their original simplicity, from whence do they derive those voices of which they have seen no example; those passions they have had no occasion to feel; those prejudices that nothing can have given them? The faults of which we accuse nature, are not its work, but ours. A vicious proposal in the mouth of a child, is a strange plant whose seed is borne by the wind." In the first of those quotations, M. Rousseau thinks that it is to our organization we owe our vices and passions, and consequently our characters.
