Digitized by Google 128 THE ENLIGHTENMENT kind of mechanism, the same functions and the same end/' ^ The last word with which EMderot ends this famous conversation is the sombre admonition which he flings at d'Alembert with a curt Bonsoiry Memento quia pulvis esy et in pulverem reverteris? In the Reve de ifAlemherty Mademoiselle de I*Es- pinasse, who watches by the bedside of d'Alembert during his deep trance, takes down in writ- ing the significant utterances of the philosopher and shows them ...to his physician, Bordeu, who finds in them not the ravings of delirium, but the sober and serious considerations of one who had profoundly contemplated the mystery of life. The content of the essay is a continuance of the attempt to reduce all psychological phenomena to a physiological basis, and to eliminate all idea of freedom in the thought and affairs of man. In speak- ing to d'Alembert of his trance-like dream, Bordeu reminds him that throughout the entire period of unconsciousness he had given expression to thoughts which were not only intelligent, but also deeply sig- nificant.
