Maine de Biran, Interior Space, Body, SensibilityAbstract
The aim of this paper is to study Maine de Biran’s theory of interior space along its three major components, established along a critical dialogue with Condillac and Destutt de Tracy, and developed from the theory of effort’s point of view. Those components are: the durability of the primordial effort; the possibility of perceiving exterior space; the consistency of the furtive time of sensibility.
