Cabanis, Pierre Jean Georges

Japanese: カバニス(英語表記)Cabanis, Pierre Jean Georges
Cabanis, Pierre Jean Georges
Born June 5, 1757, Louis
Died May 5, 1808. Selancourt French philosopher and physician. One of the central figures of the School of Idealism. Specializing in medicine, he became a professor at the University of Paris in 1795. During the Revolution, he collaborated with H. Mirabeau on educational planning and was friends with E. Condillac. He gained fame for his major work, Treatise on the Body and Mind of Man (1802). He considered the mechanism of language essential to the mechanism of the intellect and the meaning of ideas, and is considered a precursor to logical positivism, but language also requires an analysis of the senses, which are the cause of ideas. The brain is the stomach that digests impressions, and the study of humans must be reduced to physics and physiology. He also asserted the existence of the unconscious, based on changes in the nervous system caused by memory and imagination. His philosophy, based on mechanistic explanations, is at the origin of positivism, which followed La Mettrie and continued from A. Comte to H. Taine.

フランスの哲学者,医学者。観念学派の中心人物の一人。医学を専門とし,1795年パリ大学教授。大革命の最中に教育計画に関して H.ミラボーと協力,E.コンディヤックと交際。主著『人間の肉体と精神についての論考』 Traité du physique et du moral de l'homme (1802) で名声を博す。知性の機構,観念の意味にとって言語の機構を本質的なものとし,論理実証主義の先駆と目されるが,言語はさらに観念の因である感覚の分析を必要とする。脳は印象を消化する胃であり,人間の研究は物理学と生理学に還元されねばならない。また記憶や想像力による神経系統の変化に基づく無意識の存在を主張した。機械論的説明を柱とする彼の哲学は,ラ・メトリをうけて,A.コントから H.テーヌに続く実証主義の源流に位置している。
