Par šo e-grāmatu

A new translation of Denis Diderot's 1774 Political Principles of Sovereigns 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. In "Political Principles of Sovereigns," Diderot examines the role of rulers and the principles of governance. He criticizes despotic and oppressive regimes, advocating for rulers to prioritize the well-being and happiness of their subjects. Diderot's treatise influenced discussions on political philosophy and the principles of sovereignty. While there are no specific comments from other philosophers or intellectuals on this work, "Political Principles of Sovereigns" showcases Diderot's political ideals and his belief in the importance of just and benevolent governance. The work emphasizes the responsibility of rulers to prioritize the welfare of their citizens and lays the groundwork for later political thinkers who explored similar themes.

Par autoru

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.
