L'hygiène et l'état selon Montyon (1977)

unapi

Description “The populationist programme contained in Montyon's Recherches et considérations sur la population de la France was essentially sociopolitical. But behind his call for action lay a conception of man's nature and his interaction with the environment based on the ancient medical doctrine of the influence on human well-being of the 'six things non-natural'. In turn, the non-naturals provided a vocabulary and a theoretical framework for exploring and expressing factors which the state might use to increase its population. Montyon's bold demographic investigation was thus heavily invested with contemporary medical belief, at precisely the point where his discussion passed from analysis of population movement to considerations of action intended to direct that movement.” From the English abstract.
