The keywords of the Enlightenment-freedom, tolerance, rights, equality-are today heard everywhere, and they are used to endorse a wide range of positions, some of which are in perfect contradiction. While Orwell's 1984 claims that there is one phrase in the English language that resists translation into Newspeak , namely the opening lines of that key Enlightenment text, the Declaration of Independence: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal...', we also find the Wall Street Journal saying of the Iraq War that the US was 'fighting for the very notion of the Enl

Denis Diderot's Rameau's Nephew has achieved a literary-philosophical status that no other work by Diderot shares. This interactive, multi-media edition offers not only a brand new translation of Diderot's famous dialogue but provides portraits and biographies of the numerous individuals mentioned in the text, allowing a window onto the complex social and political context that forms the backdrop to the dialogue. Links to musical pieces selected by Pascal Duc and performed by students of the Conservatoire nationale de musique, Paris, illuminate the wider musical context of the work, enlarging

Jusqu’à Descartes, les rares textes philosophiques consacrés à l’aveugle le considéraient comme nécessairement prisonnier de l’ignorance et envisageaient la cécité comme une privation. Descartes, le premier, conçoit l’aveugle comme le détenteur de lumières dont le voyant est privé. À la fin du xviie siècle puis au siècle des Lumières, l’aveugle devient une figure déterminante dans la critique de la métaphysique classique et de la théorie des facultés subjectives. Il est au cœur en particulier du fameux problème transmis par le mathématicien et opticien William Molyneux à John Locke, qui l’expose dans l’Essai sur l’entendement humain : un aveugle de naissance, à qui une opération aurait rendu la vue, saurait-il distinguer un cube d’une sphère, s’il ne pouvait que les voir sans les toucher ? Cet ouvrage propose de façon originale une histoire philosophique de la cécité à travers ses principaux penseurs - Descartes, Berkeley, Diderot, Wittgenstein... - et se clôt par une étude d’Evgen Bavcar, philosophe et aveugle, qui nous confronte au questionnement de la cécité sur elle-même à partir des analyses d’Ernst Bloch.

This new edition includes: * Additional online resources (see 'Additional Resources' tab above) * Introduction * Original text * English translation * Embedded audio-files * Explanatory notes * Interactive material * 100 colour illustrations In a famous Parisian chess café, a down-and-out, HIM, accosts a former acquaintance, ME, who has made good, more or less. They talk about chess, about genius, about good and evil, about music, they gossip about the society in which they move, one of extreme inequality, of corruption, of envy, and about the circle of hangers-on in which the down-and-out abides. The down-and-out from time to time is possessed with movements almost like spasms, in which he imitates, he gestures, he rants. And towards half past five, when the warning bell of the Opera sounds, they part, going their separate ways. Probably completed in 1772-73, Denis Diderot’s Rameau’s Nephew fascinated Goethe, Hegel, Engels and Freud in turn, achieving a literary-philosophical status that no other work by Diderot shares. This interactive, multi-media and bilingual edition offers a brand new translation of Diderot’s famous dialogue, and it also gives the reader much more. Portraits and biographies of the numerous individuals mentioned in the text, from minor actresses to senior government officials, enable the reader to see the people Diderot describes, and provide a window onto the complex social and political context that forms the backdrop to the dialogue. Links to musical pieces specially selected by Pascal Duc and performed by students of the Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse de Paris, illuminate the wider musical context of the work, enlarging it far beyond its now widely understood relation to opéra comique.
