Informazioni su questo ebook

A new translation of Denis Diderot's 1770 Bourbonne's Two Friends from the original French manuscript into American English. This edition contains an afterword by the translator on Diderot's philosophic legacy, a timeline of his works and life, and a glossary of philosophic terminology utilized in his works. Written by Denis Diderot in 1770, this is a philosophical dialogue that explores the nature of friendship, societal norms, and the pursuit of happiness. The story revolves around two friends, Baron d'Holbach and the Marquis de Condorcet, who engage in a series of discussions and debates about various aspects of human existence. The narrative unfolds as the two friends meet in Bourbonne-les-Bains, a spa town in France. They engage in conversations touching upon subjects such as religion, morality, politics, and personal freedom. This is a classic enlightenment Socratic dialogue, asn Voltaire, Rousseau and Diderot produced many.

Informazioni sull'autore

A friend of Rousseau, Diderot was an Enlightenment writer and Philosopher. Diderot's other works spanned a wide range of genres, including novels, scientific treatises, and art criticism. His novel "Jacques the Fatalist" explores themes of determinism and free will, while "Rameau's Nephew" is a dialogic exploration of moral relativism and the nature of genius. In his art criticism, notably his writings on the Salons (the official art exhibitions in Paris), Diderot was pioneering, blending detailed descriptions with broader philosophical reflections on art and aesthetics.
