Unusual, of this translation of the works of the Earl of Shaftesbury,
Anthony Ashley Cooper (1671-1713), Neoplatonic philosopher and English politician.
The translation is mainly due to Jean-Baptiste Robinet (1735-1820), who notably took over that by Diderot of the "Inquiry Concerning Virtue" ("Principles of moral philosophy or Essay of M. S *** on the merit of virtue ", Amst., 1745).
