The publication of the Encyclopedie in the middle of the eighteenth century is generally recognised as a decisive factor in the conflict ideas which led to the French Revolution of 1789. Yet, despite its importance in the history of eighteenth-century French thought, no outstanding work of the period is less read today, simple because of its bulk and inaccessibility. Those parts reproduced in this edition cover religion, philosophy, science and political and social ideas and include articles which reflect the humanitarian outlook of the contributors and their attitude to the abuses of the ancien regime. The selection is of value not only to students of French literature and thought, but also to all those interested in the history and political ideas of France on the eve of the Revolution; in these pages Diderot, D'Alembert and D'Holbach are allowed to speak for themselves, instead of having their ideas summarised (and sometimes misinterpreted) by others.

Book Description

    ENGLISH introduction; FRENCH encyclopedia articles. FASCINATING.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2019
    Format: Hardcover

    The original Encyclopédie was published 1751-1765 and was acclaimed by historians. Cambridge University Press has recreated the encyclopédie, reprinting about 70 selected articles from A to Z in this volume. (Someone gave this book 2 stars because he didn't even realize the Encyclopédie was in French - ignore.)

    English Title - But Written in French

    Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2020
    Format: Paperback

    I should have assumed that with an English title, the selected articles would be translated, but instead it is written in French.

    Alternatively, I should have looked at the reviews/comments. I feel badly that I've given the book one star, but hopefully it will get the attention of potential buyers so they'll avoid making the same mistake.

    French?

    Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2013
    Format: Paperback

    Nothing in the listing said the book was in French. I assumed it would be translated into English. Not happy.
