Pages : 276
Book Description
Denis Diderot (1713-1784) was one of the most significant figures of the French enlightenment. His political writings cover the period from the first volume of the Encyclopedie (1751), of which he was principal editor, to the third edition of Raynal's Histoire des Deux Indes (1780), one of the most widely read books of the pre-revolutionary period. This volume contains the most important of Diderot's articles for the Encyclopedie, a substantial number of his contributions to the Histoire, the complete texts of his Supplement au Voyage de Bougainville, one of his most visionary works, and his Observations sur le Nakaz, a precise and detailed political work translated here into English for the first time. The editors' introduction sets these works in their context and shows the underlying coherence of Diderot's thought. A chronology of events and a bibliography are included as further aids to the reader.

Pages : 112
Book Description
Le Supplément au voyage de Bougainville est une réponse fictive au récit de voyage de l'explorateur Bougainville qui avait « découvert » l'Océanie. Diderot donne la parole aux victimes de la colonisation : les tahitiens, en exploitant le procédé d'inversion des regards pour dénoncer l'injustice de cette situation, montrer du doigt les faiblesses des sociétés occidentales qui se disent évoluées. C'est un procédé stylistique très à la mode à l'époque de Diderot. Diderot mobilise ainsi le mythe du bon sauvage, préoccupation propre aux Lumières.

Book Description
"Supplément au Voyage de Bougainville" est une œuvre écrite par le philosophe et écrivain français Denis Diderot. Il a été rédigé dans la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle, mais il n'a pas été publié de son vivant en raison de ses aspects controversés. Ce texte est un dialogue entre deux personnages, un Tahitien et un Français, qui discutent des différences culturelles et des points de vue sur la société. L'œuvre explore la question de la moralité, de la civilisation et des rapports entre les cultures européennes et polynésiennes à l'époque de l'exploration. Denis Diderot était un des philosophes majeurs de l'époque des Lumières en France et l'un des principaux contributeurs de l'Encyclopédie. "Supplément au Voyage de Bougainville" s'inscrit dans le contexte de la philosophie des Lumières, remettant en question les préjugés et les valeurs de l'époque, tout en encourageant la tolérance et la compréhension interculturelle. Il est reconnu pour sa réflexion sur le relativisme culturel et la manière dont les sociétés européennes percevaient d'autres cultures lors de l'exploration du monde.

Book Description
The great eighteenth-century French thinker Denis Diderot (1713–84) once compared himself to a weathervane, by which he meant that his mind was in constant motion. In an extraordinarily diverse career he produced novels, plays, art criticism, works of philosophy and poetics, and also reflected on music and opera. Perhaps most famously, he ensured the publication of the Encyclopédie, which has often been credited with hastening the onset of the French Revolution. Known as one of the three greatest philosophes of the Enlightenment, Diderot rejected the Christian ideas in which he had been raised. Instead, he became an atheist and a determinist. His radical questioning of received ideas and established religion led to a brief imprisonment, and for that reason, no doubt, some of his subsequent works were written for posterity. This collection of essays celebrates the life and work of this extraordinary figure as we approach the tercentenary of his birth.
