‘Le siècle s'est éclairé’
The quotation in my title and the three subsequent terms are taken from the most famous scene of Diderot's first play, Le Fils naturel , which has long been judged preachy and dramatically incompetent by critics. Judging by the evidence of the surviving eighteenth‐century performance texts, much of it was simply cut. This essay acknowledges the issue but/and contextualizes the scene, reading it as an attempt on the part of the philosophe to manag…
Diderot, Le neveu de Rameau, and the Figure of the Philosophe in Eighteenth-Century Paris
Ne nous engageons point dans les querelles
Cet article aborde la querelle comme un élément de la stratégie d'un philosophe vis-à-vis de la postérité. On pourrait évidemment penser à des querelleurs invétérés comme Pascal, Voltaire ou Rousseau, mais il sera question ici du cas plus complexe de Diderot et du dernier ouvrage publié de son vivant, I 'Essai sur les règnes de Claude et de Néron et sur les moeurs et les écrits de Sénèque pour servir à l 'introduction de la lecture de ce philosop…
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 …
Chance, Literature and Culture in Early Modern France
Chance, particularly insofar as it related to probability, has always been an important topic for writers, as well as for mathematicians, and scholars working on texts from the mid-seventeenth century onwards have often devoted their attention to literary as well as scientific ways of understanding, representing and managing the phenomenon. The collection of essays under review here thus takes its place alongside important studies such as Ian Hac…
Eyes wide shut
Le Rêve de d'Alembert ( D'Alembert's Dream ) is an exhilarating read. It offers us a triptych of lively conversations, involving characters, three male and one female, one asleep and three awake, and topics that range from dualism, materialism and scepticism, to sensibility, selfhood and memory, to the origins of the universe and the workings of nature, from Siamese twins to a priest who underwent a gall bladder operation without feeling any pain…
You're Either Anonymous or You're Not
"You're Either Anonymous or You're Not!":Variations on Anonymity in Modern and Early Modern Culture1 Kate E. Tunstall (bio) My title is taken from an episode of the US sitcom, Curb Your Enthusiasm. The claim is made by the main character, Larry David (played by the real Larry David), and although it sounds reasonable enough, it is, in fact, as the entire episode reveals, perilously simplistic. Larry utters the fateful words at a gala evening at a…
The Judgement of Experience
In addition to the usual question underlying empiricist epistemology, namely how we are to judge our sensory experience, Diderot raises the question as to how we are to judge our reading experience, explicitly asking ‘Madame’, the reader, to come to a view as to whether his presentation of the blind man of Puiseaux as a real person is persuasive or not. This essay, building on an earlier article published in French Studies Bulletin (2006) which p…
Quant à Polly Baker
Ce court article rédigé à la suite de la table-ronde organisée autour du thème « Le Mensonge dans la Cité » développe la cas de Polly Baker, une femme qui, en 1747, a plaidé devant un tribunal pour l’égalité de traitement entre les femmes et les hommes, et a gagné son procès. Ce cas, inventé par Benjamin Franklin, a été largement considéré comme vrai au 18e siècle. Pourquoi

Des Circonstances Assez Peu Philosophiques’
The Lettre sur les aveugles à l'usage de ceux qui voient (1749) is a text which raises a number of questions, not the least of which relates to the cast of characters within it. Many readers have explored the extent to which it may be read as a kind of epistolary ‘roman à clé’, debating the possible identity of ‘Madame’, the letter's addressee,1 and uncovering information about Nicholas Saunderson, the blind Cambridge mathematician.2 Little atten…
Crânement Beau Tout de Même’
This essay revisits the relationship between Zola’s descriptive techniques and painting by taking a detailed look at Le Ventre de Paris , and at one particular genre of painting, still life. The argument involves dissolving the easy identification between the painter Claude Lantier and the narrator in order to reveal the presence of visions of Les Halles other than Claude’s quasi-Impressionist one, to which much critical attention has been devote…
