Discourse of Enlightenment in Eighteenth-century France Diderot and the Art of Philosophizing

This study focuses on the works of one of the best-known writers of eighteenth-century France, Denis Diderot, whose experimentation with presenting critical knowledge exemplifies the Enlightenment's struggle to produce a rationalist critique of all prior knowledge. Paying close attention to the formal-poetic nature of Diderot's writing, it examines the interplay between critical knowledge and its representation.Brewer, Daniel is the author of 'Discourse of Enlightenment in Eighteenth-century France Diderot and the Art of Philosophizing', published 2006 under ISBN 9780521032216 and ISBN 0521032210.
