Siep Stuurman's important "Francois Poulain de la Barre and the Invention of Modern Equality," published by Harvard University Press, highlighted the growing importance of this book. Stuurman called it a landmark in the histories of both feminism and the Enlightenment. He suggested that this book is the first of three treatises on the equality of men and women that are probably the most radically egalitarian texts published in Europe before the French Revolution. Poulain is called the first thinker in modern Europe to build his entire social philosophy on a universalist concept of equality. He was the first to turn feminism into a systematic social philosophy and the first to form an Enlightenment social philosophy. The book can be translated: "A Physical and Moral Discourse on the Equality of the Two Sexes in which One Sees the Importance of Overcoming Prejudices." It contains a systematic critique of the popular justifications and scientific arguments in favor of male supremacy. All differences between the sexes are said to be caused by chance, power, and custom.

Full original calf, gilt spine. [16], 243, [5] pp. First edition of this essential book in the history of feminism, a turning point of feminist argumentation and philosophy. François Poulain [Poullain] de la Barre (b. 1647 in Paris) rejected the dogmatic reasoning style of his scholastic education in writing this foundational feminist text. It is the first of three works, published in succession between 1673 and 1675, in which he makes an argument for the equality of the sexes. De l'Égalité des Deux Sexes was followed by De l'éducation des dames pour la conduite de l'esprit, dans les sciences et dans les moeurs: Entretiens (1674). The trio concludes with De l'excellence des hommes, contre l'égalité des sexes (1675) in which Poulain responds to and refutes his own counterarguments to gender equality. While other feminist writers before him called upon religious and philosophical authorities, Poulain was the first to base his argument on reason alone. "Poulain borrowed from Cartesians of the 1670s the idea that many common beliefs are 'prejudices', i.e., 'judgements made about things without having examined them'" (Clarke, François Poulain de la Barre in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy). In this sense, l'Égalité can be seen not only as a turning point in feminist thought and argumentation, but also one of the first truly philosophical feminist works. Albistur and Armogathe, much cited scholars of the history of feminism, locate Poulain's involvement with Cartesianism as a catalyst in feminism: "Without Descartes there would not have been Poullain de la Barre; without Poullain de la Barre, the history of feminism would have gone nowhere for a long time. Undeniably, he must be considered the theoretician for women's emancipation, the most important that we had from the Middle Ages to the middle of the nineteenth century" (Histoire du féminisme français, p. 84, as translated in Three Cartesian Feminist Treatises, fn. 104, p. 33). After its translation in 1677 as The Woman as Good as the Man, Poulain's work became influential in England, where it was widely and enthusiastically plagiarized throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. "Poulain changed the focus of the debate about women in the seventeenth century. He challenged the factual claims on which opponents of sexual equality relied, rejected the value of appealing to women's nature as if it were something that could be known independently of the properties that were predicated of it, and rejected as invalid any inference from established customs (as mere facts) to a moral or political justification of women's status. Poulain may be described as the first Cartesian feminist" (Clarke). Particularly fascinating about this book is the way in which the Cartesian doubt that Poulain employs to dispel traditional arguments in favor of gender inequality also has the potential to undermine his own work. In fact, that doubt confirms the book's philosophical credibility while also making room for further advancements in feminist thought. Simone de Beauvoir makes Poulain's words the epigraph of The Second Sex: "Everything that men have written about women should be viewed with suspicion, because they are both judge and party." By using his weakness to strengthen her own credibility, Beauvoir brings Poulain's influence directly to the 20th Century and clinches his place as a canonical figure in feminist philosophy. An important argument for the equality of the sexes, marking a transition from early modern to modern feminist philosophy. CONDITION: Good, rubbed with small losses at head and foot of spine, upper joint split but cords holding firm.

Couverture rigide. Condición: Bon. 1ère édition. 112 pp. 118 pp, 112 pp. Deux parties en un volume in-12, pleine basane brune, dos à quatre nerfs orné de fleurons, tranches mouchetées, manques aux coiffes, quelques usures. Reliure d'époque. Tout aussi rare que "De l'égalité des deux sexes, discours physique et Moral" - "De l'excellence des hommes contre l'égalité des sexes" - publié à Paris en 1675, est la suite et l'amplification du premier manifeste de Poullain de la Barre, publié chez le même éditeur en 1673. Comme l'auteur le précise dès la deuxième page de sa préface, non seulement, il reste convaincu de la réalité de l'égalité entre les hommes et les femmes, mais, " il l'est plus que jamais encore". Face aux réactions vives et violentes, que provoqua la publication de son essais sur l'égalité des deux sexes il s'étonne "qu'après tant de menaces d'écrire contre l'égalité des sexes, aucun ne l'ai fait encore", l'auteur décide donc de relever le défit afin de " répondre à l'attente que ces menaces avoient données" de manière à ce que le lecteur puisse de lui même trancher le débat. C'est bien parce que nul n'a osé répondre à son placet qu'il se propose de combler cette lacune afin de constater si la thèse de la supériorité masculine sur la nature féminine peut être envisagée comme viable au regard de la raison. Mais avant de se livrer à cet exercice, l'auteur se propose d'entamer une lecture des textes saints, évangiles et pères de l'église, afin de relever la moindre allusion à une prétendue supériorité masculine. N'en trouvant aucunes traces, bien au contraire (Poullain de la Barre était théologien), il débute son ouvrage. La démonstration vire rapidement à l'absurde, ridiculisant la thèse, d'une prétendue supériorité des hommes par rapport aux femmes, et ceci dans tous les domaines de l'activité humaine. Dans le dernier chapitre, Poullain de la Barre, insiste encore sur la nature de son écrit afin de lever toute ambiguïté sur ses convictions. S'il a écrit ce pamphlet sur l' « excellence des hommes, contre l'égalité des sexes » ce n'a été que pour mieux connaître, faire ressortir les erreurs et les préjugés de ceux qui prétendent qu'il existe une inégalité foncière entre les hommes et les femmes. Plus encore que son précédent manifeste, ce texte ne rencontrera que haine et incompréhension. La plupart de ses détracteurs, ne prenant pas la peine de lire l'importante préface de 72 pages, se servirent au contraire de son titre provocateur afin d'en discréditer l'auteur. Encore de nos jours il n'est pas rare de lire ce contresens lorsque l'on consulte les encyclopédies de ligne au sujet de François Poullain de la Barre. Séduisant exemplaire en reliure strictement contemporaine, de ce texte novateur. Livre ancien.

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. 8 leaves, 243, [5, Avertissement, errata, Extrait du privilege du roi] pp. Later full leather. Very Good. First Edition. Between 1673 and 1675, François Poullain (or Poulain) de la Barre (b. 1648), a young convert to Cartesianism, published anonymously three feminist treatises that have established him as the foremost 17th century advocate of the intellectual equality of women and men. The first of the three was the treatise offered here, On the Equality of the Two Sexes. A Physical and Moral Discourse which Shows the Importance of Getting Rid of One's Prejudices. It was followed in 1674 by De l'education des dames pour la conduite de l'esprit dans les sciences et dans les moeurs (On The Education of Ladies. For Training the Mind in the Sciences and in Moral Judgment); and then in 1675 by De l'excellence des hommes, contre l'égalité des sexes (On the Excellence of Men. Against the Equality of the Sexes), in which Poullain wrote his own refutation, and then refuted it. "Without Descartes there would not have been Poullain de la Barre; without Poullain de la Barre, the history of feminism would have gone nowhere for a long time. Undeniably, he must be considered the theoretician for women's emancipation, the most important that we had from the Middle Ages to the middle of the nineteenth century" (Albistur & Armogathe, Histoire du féminisme français, p. 84, as translated in Three Cartesian Feminist Treatises, fn. 104, p. 33). Simone de Beauvoir called Poullain "the leading feminist of the time" (The Second Sex, p. 107). "François Poullain de la Barre, who followed Descartes closely in method and doctrine, did what Descartes never dared: apply the principle of methodological doubt to the social domain. Poullain dared, in other words, to meddle in an area where Descartes had argued vehemently that one should not venture. . . . Using the tenets of Cartesianism, Poullain set out to demonstrate that there is no significant difference between the sexes. Central to his claim was that the mind--distinct from the body--has no sex. Sex indeed extends no further than to the organs of generation. . . . For Poullain, success in science required only reliable senses combined with right method. If sexual differences extend no further than reproductive organs, then everyone--both women and men--has equally reliable senses. Women have the same sense organs as men--their eyes see as clearly, their ears hear with the same degree of accuracy, their hands are as dextrous. And their heads are the same as men's. 'The most exact anatomy has not discovered any difference in that part between men and women; the brain is the same in both, as are memory and imagination' [p. 112]. On this basis Poullain argued that women were capable of doing anatomy. 'They too have eyes and hands; may they not . . . perform dissections of a human body and consider the symmetry, and structure thereof' [p. 113]. For similar reasons women were capable of creative work in mathematics and logic, physics and engineering, metaphysics and astronomy, history and geography, medicine, theology and civil law; in short, there was 'nothing too high for women' " (Schiebinger, The Mind has no Sex?, pp. 176-77). Londa Schiebinger took the title of her book--The Mind has no Sex?--from this work of Poullain de la Barre, in which he declared "L'esprit n'a point de sexe" (p. 109-10). Schiebinger chose to quote Poullain de la Barre at the head of three chapters in her book: Introduction (p. 1), chapters 1 (p. 10) and 6 (p. 160).
