Pierre Jean George Cabanis wrote at a period when the questions philosophy asked were themselves being renegotiated.
The record lists Pierre Jean George Cabanis as French physiologist and materialist philosopher (1757-1808).
Pierre Jean George Cabanis was born at Cosnac in 1757. His recorded nationality is France. He studied at Paris Medical Faculty.
Enlightenment argument moved philosophy into public life: it was now about government, rights and religion as much as metaphysics.
The recorded fields of work are philosophy.
Among his principal works are Rapports du physique et du moral de l'homme, Du Degré de Certitude de la Médecine and Coup d'Oeil sur les Revolutions et sur la Reforme de la Medicine. Philosophical influence is measured in the questions a thinker made unavoidable.
The honours record reads: Commander of the Legion of Honour.
That the work was done from France matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Pierre Jean George Cabanis died in 1808, aged 51. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
