Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book published in the year 1980, is a robust analysis of the life and works of the Italian philosopher Ferdinando Galiani, a figure of some note in 18th century France and Italy. He moved to Paris in 1759, serving as secretary to the Neapolitan ambassador and, for a short while, was a contributor to Diderotâs Encyclopà die. The author argues that Galiani was not merely a philosophe, but a subtle and original thinker, whose cosmopolitan brilliance and wry insights into human nature make his work fascinating reading even today. Through this book and its exploration of Galiani's writings on political economy, his critique of Rousseau, and his commentaries on the Neapolitan dialect, the reader is afforded an immersive insight into 18th century life and thought in both its Italian and French contexts.
