  • Maine de Biran, Leibniz and virtuality.Marc Parmentier - 2016 - Methodos 16.
    En 1819, Maine de Biran rédige une Exposition du système de Leibniz. Ce texte accorde une place centrale à la virtualité en l'associant à trois éléments-clés du système leibnizien : la monade miroir représentant « virtuellement » l'univers ; la conception dynamique de la substance constituée par une tendance virtuelle ; l'innéité des idées qui résulterait, aux yeux de Biran, d'une application de la dynamique et plus précisément du concept de la « force considérée comme virtuelle ». Ces trois références (...)

  • On the Reform of the First Philosophy: After Leibniz, Maine de Biran.Bernard Baertschi - 2024 - Perspectives on Science 32 (1):15-27.
    Leibniz is one of the philosophers who is most present in the philosophy of Maine de Biran, particularly from 1813 onwards. His influence is decisive in the reform of metaphysics (or First Philosophy) that he carries out from that moment on, reviving the notion of substance. Leibniz allows him to reconcile it with the idea of force, and thus to link it to the primitive fact of consciousness. This move has often been emphasized by commentators, but what has been less (...)

  • Science de l’homme et division des sciences selon Maine de Biran.François Azouvi - 1994 - Revue de Synthèse 115 (1-2):55-69.
    Comme beaucoup de ses contemporains, Maine de Biran s’attache tout au long de sa carrière philosophique à élaborer une «science de l’homme». Mais l’originalité de la science biranienne de l’homme est d’être construite selon une perspective résolument épistémologique. Il y a autant de sciences dans la science de l’homme qu’il y a de « points de vue » pour l’esprit; chacun détermine un « ordre de faits », se déploie selon une méthode propre, atteint des résultats spécifiques et rencontre des (...)

  • Introduction: Maine de Biran and the Afterlives of Biranism.Alessandra Aloisi & Delphine Antoine-Mahut - 2024 - Perspectives on Science 32 (1):1-14.
    The term “coenesthesia” was introduced at the end of the eighteenth century by the German physiologist Johann Christian Reil to designate the general perception of the living body through the nerves. Over the course of the nineteenth century, this notion circulated widely not only in Germany, but also in France, where it was developed in particular by Théodule Ribot. However, a good sixty years before Ribot, Maine de Biran had already employed the notion of “coenesthesia” to indicate the “immediate feeling (...)

  • Pierre Janet: A Psychological Reading of Maine De Biran’s Theory of the Unconscious.Denise Vincenti - 2024 - Perspectives on Science 32 (1):102-126.
    This paper aims to analyze Pierre Janet’s interpretation of Maine de Biran’s notion of the “unconscious” through a comparative study between L’automatisme psychologique (1889) and some Biranian writings devoted to the problem of pure affections. The objective is to question whether Janet’s psychological reading of this very notion had been faithful to Biran’s intentions, and to understand what kind of Biranism Janet is referring to when dealing with the problem of the unconscious.
