Acerca deste libro electrónico
A new translation of Denis Diderot's 1772 Fragments from a Philosopher's Wallet (Fragments échappés du portefeuille) 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. "Fragments from a Philosopher's Wallet" is a collection of short philosophical texts, aphorisms, and reflections written by Diderot. The fragments cover a wide range of topics, offering insights into Diderot's philosophical ideas and his views on morality, human nature, and society. While the specific impact and comments from other philosophers or intellectuals on this work are unknown, "Fragments from a Philosopher's Wallet" demonstrates Diderot's versatility as a thinker and his ability to convey profound ideas in concise and thought-provoking fragments. The work showcases Diderot's contemplative and reflective style of writing, offering glimpses into his philosophical musings. Denis Diderot is a critical figure of the Enlightenment who receives little attention from modern day philosophers. Diderot lived in the shadow of Rousseau and Volatire, whom he knew and worked with.
Acerca do autor
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.
