e a parliament composed of representatives of all European states; European borders would be guaranteed, and any diVerences arising between states would be solved in negotiations. His proposal marked the beginning of the growing emphasis and reliance on international relations and organisations in modern politics. Even though he was mainly admired as a visionary in his time, his ideas can be traced in the charters of the League of Nations and the United Nations. His paciWst plan was highly inXuential amongst the intellectuals of his and later times. ‘Rousseau published in 1761 Extrait du projet de paix perpétuelle which assured Saint-Pierre European recognition. In addition to Rousseau, of the truly famous French writers of the century, Montesquieu and Voltaire also voiced opinions about the Abbé’s projects... Kant knew Rousseau’s version of the Paix perpetuelle, and in his Zum ewigen Frieden expresses similar ideas (M. L. Perkins, The Moral and Political Philosophy of the Abbé de Saint-Pierre, Geneva, 1959). A second issue of this edition was issued with Briasson added to the imprint; Goldsmiths’–Kress 6721; see En Français dans le Texte, no. 137; van den Dungen, From Erasmus to Tolstoy, p. 67. The Science of Man and Cultural Identity 24 CHAVANNES, Alexandre César. Anthropologie ou Science générale de l’Homme, pour server d’introduction à l’étude de la Philosophie & des Langues, & de guide dans le plan d’Éducation Intellectuelle ci-devant proposé. Lausanne, [Isaac Hignou], 1788. £550 8vo, pp. xxviii, 416, title vignette; some light browning and foxing due to paper quality; contemporary pale blue boards, head and tail of spine chipped. First edition of this rare contribution to the study of anthropology, the true science of man. Chavannes was interested in the history of civilisations, sketching the progress of the human mind from ‘darkness to light’, and maintained that the development of the individual mirrored the development of civilisation in general. He includes both ‘anatomical’ and ‘physical’ studies, and gives a comprehensive assessment subdivided into nine chapters, covering anthropology, ethnology, but also extensive chapters on human speech, including lexicology and grammar, and human psychology and mythology. Chavannes was interested in understanding the laws of the general development of humankind, of identifying the cultural identity of man. Chavannes is regarded as one the Wrst to use the term ethnology. After studying philosophy and theology Chavannes (1731–1800) became professor at Lausanne Academy. He is regarded as one of the main representatives of the early development of anthropology and ethnology.
