Encyclopaedic Liberty
Often described as the culmination of the French Enlightenment, the Encyclopédie was collected to not only serve as a comprehensive reference work, but to "change the way men think" about every aspect of the human and natural worlds. In his celebrated “Preliminary Discourse” to the compilation, d’Alembert traced an entire history of modern philosophy and science designed to chart the way toward a sweeping Baconian project of improving the world t…
Denis Diderot’s ‘Rameau’s Nephew’
Denis Diderot's Rameau's Nephew has achieved a literary-philosophical status that no other work by Diderot shares. This interactive, multi-media edition offers not only a brand new translation of Diderot's famous dialogue but provides portraits and biographies of the numerous individuals mentioned in the text, allowing a window onto the complex social and political context that forms the backdrop to the dialogue. Links to musical pieces selected …
Extracts from the Histoire des Deux Indes
Editorial preface Among the manuscripts found in the Fonds Vandeul were a number relating to the abbe Raynal's Histoire des Deux Indes . Diderot's participation in this work had been rumoured during the 1780s and had been evident to scholars since the late nineteenth century, but only with this discovery did a full appraisal of his contribution become possible. It is now clear that Diderot used Raynal's work to publish a great deal of his own mat…
Articles from the Encyclopédie
Editorial preface The first volume of the Encyclopéedic announced that Diderot was the author of the work's unsigned articles, and the editor of articles marked with an asterisk. The second volume, however, stated that unsigned articles could be by different authors, including persons who did not wish their identity to be known, while Diderot's asterisk was to prove scarce after the publication of volume VIII, and to vanish altogether after volum…
The Supplément au Voyage de Bougainville
Diderot drafted his review of Bougainville's Voyage autour du monde in 1771, shortly after the work was published. Although in the Voyage the material on Tahiti occupied just two brief chapters, it was that material which most attracted Diderot's attention; and his treatment of it, together with an amplification of his direct appeal to Bougainville in the review to leave Tahiti as he found it, forms the major part of the first two sections of the…

Wissenskultur Tanz
Tanz als eigene Wissenskultur zu begreifen, ist nicht selbstverständlich. Doch steht außer Frage, dass dem Tanzen Wissensformen zukommen, die aus Praxeologien und Theoriebildungen hervorgehen. Aber bildet die Tanzkunst auch eine Wissenskultur? Worin bestünde sie und welche Erkenntnisziele und Erfahrungswerte sind am Werk? Vor diesem Fragehorizont greift der Sammelband in bestehende Diskussionen ein, um aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive das inter…

Rameau's Nephew and First Satire
unless you know everything, you really know nothing' Diderot's brilliant and witty dialogue begins with a chance encounter in a Paris cafe between two acquaintances. Their talk ranges broadly across art, music, education, and the contemporary scene, as the nephew of composer Rameau, amoral and bohemian, alternately shocks and amuses the moral, bourgeois figure of his interlocutor. Exuberant and highly entertaining, the dialogue exposes the corrup…

Jacques the fatalist and his master
Your Jacques is a tasteless mishmash of things that happen, some of them true, others made up, written without style and served up like a dog's breakfast.' Jacques the Fatalist is Diderot's answer to the problem of existence. If human beings are determined by their genes and their environment, how can they claim to be free to want or do anything? Where are Jacques and his Master going? Are they simply occupying space, living mechanically until th…
