Truth is the torch that gleams through the fog without dispelling it.

About
Claude Adrien Helvétius was born in Paris, France. He was a French philosopher. In 1758, Helvétius published his philosophical magnum opus, a work called De l'esprit. After holding the exceedingly profitable post of farmer-general for some years he retired to the country in 1751 where he devoted himself to writing and philanthropy. He is remembered for his hedonism. Like Locke, Helvétius believed that all men are born with equal ability and that distinctions develop from education, and that through education all human problems could be solved.
