21. Eulogy On Julien Offray De La Mettrie Frederic the Great s Eulogy on Julien Offray de la Mettrie. http://www.santafe.edu/~shalizi/LaMettrie/Eulogy/

Frederic the Great's Eulogy on Julien Offray de la Mettrie Julien Offray de la Mettrie was born in Saint Malo , on the twenty-fifth of December, 1709, to Julien Offray de la Mettrie and Marie Gaudron, who were living by a trade large enough to provide a good education for their son. They sent him to the college of Coutance to study the humanities; he went from there to Paris, to the college of Plessis; he studied his rhetoric at Caen , and since he had much genius and imagination, he won all the prizes for eloquence. He was a born orator and was passionately fond of poetry and belles-lettres, but his father thought he would earn more as an ecclesiastic than as a poet, and destined him for the church. He sent him, the following year, to the college of Plessis where he studied logic under M. Cordier, who was more a Jansenist than a logician. It is characteristic of an ardent imagination to seize forcefully the objects presented to it, as it is characteristic of youth to be prejudiced in favor of the first opinions that are inculcated. Any other scholar would have adopted the opinions of his teacher but that was not enough for young La Mettrie; he became a Jansenist, and wrote a work which had great vogue in that party. In 1725, he studied natural philosophy at the college of Harcourt, and made great progress there. On his return to Brittany, M. Hunault, a doctor of Saint Malo, had advised him to adopt the medical profession. They had persuaded his father, assuring him that a mediocre profession would be better paid for his remedies than a good priest for his absolutions. At first young La Mettrie had applied himself to the study of anatomy: for two years he had worked at the dissecting-table. After this, in 1725, he took the degree of doctor at Rheims, and was there received as a physician.

Man a Machine Julien Offray de La Mettrie It is not enough for a wise man to study nature and truth; he should dare state truth for the benefit of the few who are willing and able to think. As for the rest, who are voluntarily slaves of prejudice, they can no more attain truth, than frogs can fly. I reduce to two the systems of philosophy which deal with man's soul. The first and older system is materialism; the second is spiritualism. The metaphysicians who have hinted that matter may well be endowed with the faculty of thought have perhaps not reasoned ill. For there is in this case a certain advantage in their inadequate way of expressing their meaning. In truth, to ask whether matter can think, without considering it otherwise than in itself, is like asking whether matter can tell time. It may be foreseen that we shall avoid this reef upon which Locke had the bad luck to shipwreck. The Leibnizians with their monads have set up an unintelligible hypothesis. They have rather spiritualized matter than materialized the soul. How can we define a being whose nature is absolutely unknown to us? Descartes and all the Cartesians, among whom the followers of Malebranche have long been numbered, have made the same mistake. They have taken for granted two distinct substances in man, as if they had seen them, and positively counted them.

La Mettrie, Julien Offray de From New World Encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Previous (Juliana of the Netherlands) Next (Juliette Gordon Low) Julien Offray de La Mettrie Julien Offray de La Mettrie (December 25, 1709 – November 11, 1751) was a French physician and philosopher , the earliest of the materialist writers of the Enlightenment . As a physician, he made a study of his own hallucinations during a fever and published Histoire naturelle de l'âme Natural History of the Soul , 1745), concluding that psychical phenomena could be explained by organic changes in the body and brain. This provoked an outcry which forced him to leave France and go to Leiden, where he further developed his theories in L'Homme machine Man a Machine , 1747), applying Rene Descartes ’ mechanistic ideas on animals to human behavior. The book was burned and the feeling against him was so strong that he was compelled to leave the Netherlands in 1748. He was received in Berlin by Frederick the Great , who allowed him to practice medicine and made him a court reader. There La Mettrie wrote his major book Discours sur le bonheur (1748), and
