Julie Candler Hayes offers an ambitious reinterpretation of a crucial aspect of Enlightenment thought, the rationalizing and classifying impulse. Taking issue both with traditional liberal and contemporary critical accounts of the Enlightenment, she analyzes the writings of Denis Diderot, Emilie Du Châtelet, the Abbé de Condillac, Buffon, d’Alembert, and numerous others, to argue for a new understanding of ‘systematic reason’ as complex, paradoxical, and ultimately liberating. Hayes examines the tensions between freedom and constraint, abstraction and materialism, linear and synoptic order, that pervade not only philosophic and scientific discourse, but also epistolary writing, fiction, and criticism. Drawing on the insights of a wide range of theorists from Adorno, Habermas, and Foucault to Deleuze and Derrida, she offers a dialogue between the eighteenth century and our own, an ongoing exploration of the question, ‘what is Enlightenment?’

"Malgré de nombreux ouvrages portant sur l'esclavage dans les colonies sucrières et la naissance d'une colonisation en Afrique du Nord, peu d'études tentent de faire le lien entre les deux systèmes d'exploitation. L'indépendance de Saint-Domingue devenue Haïti, l'impossibilité de maintenir l'esclavage font entrevoir la possibilité de développer de nouvelles colonies en Afrique du Nord. Comment articuler la problématique de l'esclavage et celle de la colonisation ? De quelle manière l'anthropologie des Lumières, en préfigurant un nouveau modèle de colonisation, s'est-elle développée à partir de l'expédition d'Égypte puis de la conquête de l'Algérie ? Quel rôle a-t-elle joué dans les constructions de l'image de l'indigène au XIXe siècle ?"--Page 4 of cover.
