After studies in Algiers he was noticed in the Paris salons by a treatise 'Sur la chronologie d'Herodote' (1781). In 1783 he travelled trough the Near East. This resulted in a Herodotian travelbook Le voyage en �gypte et en Syrie (1787, 2 volumes). In 1789 Volney was presented a mandate as a representative of the third estate in the Estated General. Since then he combined intensive political activity with a sucesfull career as a essayist. In particular his Lockian essay 'Les ruines ou m�ditations sur les r�volutions des empires (1791) was very popular. In 1793 he published a kind of philosophical catechismt: La loi naturelle ou principes de la morale, d�duits de l'organisation de l'homme et de de l'universe. In 1795 he travelled to America. He became member of the Acad�mie Francaise (1795) and senator (1799) (.). Moderne encyclopedie der wereldliteratuur. Bussum, z.j., 5, 179. 'Der franz�sische Aufkl�rungsphilosoph Volney ist Naturalist und Materialist. Seine moralphilosophischen Ansichten �bernimmt er von Helvetius. Danach besteht kein Gegensatz zwischen Selbstliebe und Forderung des Gemeinwohls. Das Ideal der Vernunftherrschaft glaubt Volney in der Franz�sischen Revolution ann�hrend verwirklicht. Freiheit und Gerechtigkeit setzt er gleich. Volney's Geschichtsphilosophie ist Anwendung seiner Ethik'. W. Ziegenfuss. Philosophen-Lexikon. Berlin 1950, 806-07.
