À propos de cet e-book

A new translation of Denis Diderot's short dialogue between himself and Jean Le Rond d'Alembert, one of the most important polymaths and philosophers in French Enlightenment society at the time. This edition contains an afterword by the translator on Diderot's philosophy, a timeline of his life and works, and a glossary of the philosophic topics which recur in his works. This is a short conversation between Diderot and Jean Le Rond d'Alembert, a prominent mathematician and philosopher. The conversation covers a wide range of topics, including science, philosophy, art, and morality. Diderot and d'Alembert discuss their respective intellectual pursuits and exchange ideas on the nature of knowledge, the limitations of reason, and the relationship between science and ethics. The interview provides insights into Diderot's philosophical views and his collaboration with d'Alembert on the famous Encyclopédie, a monumental work of knowledge and enlightenment. The dialogue showcases Diderot's intellectual prowess and his engagement with contemporary thinkers.

À propos de l'auteur

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.
