  Étienne Bonnot de Condillac - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thanks to his natural caution and reserve, Condillac's relations with unorthodox philosophers did not injure his career; and he justified abundantly the choice of the French court in sending him to Parma to educate the orphan duke, then a child of seven years.
Condillac is important both as a psychologist and as having established systematically in France the principles of Locke, whom Voltaire had lately made fashionable.
Condillac's collected works were published in 1798 (23 vols.) and two or three times subsequently; the last edition (1822) has an introductory dissertation by AF Théry.

 Etienne Bonnot de Condillac
Condillac was asking what a person endowed with just a sense of smell would think upon acquiring the power of hearing, or what a person endowed with vision would know if unaffected by hunger, incapable of motion, and unaware of any tactile sensation.
Condillac's reply to the Chesselden data contained the germs of an insight that was to be central for the later Treatise: the claim that visual sensations, and indeed all sensations, might contain information that goes unnoticed by a subject simply because it is not attended to.
Condillac claimed that, were each particular smell only ever experienced in conjunction with just one particular sound, and vice versa, the two would not be thought of as distinct things or substances, even though they would be distinguished from one another.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Etienne Bonnot de Condillac
The education of the prince being completed, Condillac was elected in 1768 to succeed the Abbé d'Olivet as a member of the French Academy.
Condillac's theory of education is based on the idea that the child in its development must repeat the various states through which the race has passed--an idea which, with certain modifications, still survives.
On the other hand, Condillac has been justly criticized for his attempt to make the child a logician and psychologist, even a metaphysician, before he has mastered the elements of grammar--a mistake which is obviously due to his error concerning the origin of ideas.

 Notes to Étienne Bonnot de Condillac
As Condillac presented it, the argument proceeds by establishing that thought could not be attributed to an extended being, and so must be the property of an unextended and hence immaterial substance.
To establish this point Condillac observed that any extended being is composed of parts that exist outside of one another and that therefore can be separated from one another.
Presumably he supposed that it is too extravagant, insofar as it needlessly multiplies the number of substances that are supposed to have the thought, and that it conceeds the case, insofar as it allows that thought can only occur in an indivisible substance.

 Etienne Condillac
Condillac's main economic work (1776) was remarkably prescient in his conception of interacting markets and competition.
For Condillac, value depends on the utility of a commodity in relation to the subjective needs of those who use it, increasing or decreasing as these needs become more or less intense.
Condillac's theories -- in economics, philosophy and psychology -- were taken up by Destutt de Tracy and (less faithfully) by Jean-Baptiste Say.
