‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN THE MOVEMENT TO INJECT A HISTORICAL ELEMENT INTO NATURAL SCIENCE". (DSB) ---- "After obtaining a medical degree, La Métherie practiced medicine in La Clayette from about 1770 until 1780, when he abandoned the profession. Soon afterward he went to Paris to cultivate his interest in natural philosophy... In 1785, he joined the editorial staff of the monthly journal Observations sur la physique and in May of 1785 became chief editor in place of Jean-André Mongez... In true Enlightenment fashion, La Métherie presumed that science illuminates all things, from the humblest to the highest production of nature - mankind. Confident that scientific knowledge could improve the nature and condition of man, La Métherie held that his species, like any other, exhibits moral and intellectual qualities that result from its physical makeup. Man is a machine run by his nervous system. The complexity of human behavior can be understood in terms of the historical development of the race whose ancestry ultimately merges with that of other animals. Self-interest is the central guide to human behavior, although men have become far subtler than other animals in their ability to project their self-interest into the future. If La Métherie's assurance that he understood the main outlines of human biological and cultural development reflects on the historical credulity typical of his day, it can be said that he was an active participant in the movement to inject a historical element into natural science".
