The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. Medical theory and practice of the 1700s developed rapidly, as is evidenced by the extensive collection, which includes descriptions of diseases, their conditions, and treatments. Books on science and technology, agriculture, military technology, natural philosophy, even cookbooks, are all contained here.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Efter en intensiv diskussion med Denis Diderot om materiens natur och sinnenas och förnuftets beskaffenhet går den berömde matematikern Jean le Rond d’Alembert hem och lägger sig. När han sedan fortsätter diskussionen i sömnen tar hans sambo Julie de l’Espinasse det för feberyra och kallar på läkaren de Bordeu. Denne visar sig väl förtrogen med patientens ofrivilliga filosoferande, vilket han nu börjar förklara för den häpna sambon. Deras samtal drar ut på tiden och rör förutom universums uppkomst och naturens sätt att fungera bland annat siamesiska tvillingar, sex med getter, onani och en präst som opererat gallblåsan. Till slut försvinner d’Alembert ut på ett ärende och de två avslutar samtalet över en lunch. Denis Diderot (1713-1784) hade tillsammans med d’Alembert ansvaret för den banbrytande "Encyklopedin" och var en oupphörligt produktiv författare av allt från erotiska romaner till konstkritik och filosofiska traktat. I "D’Alemberts dröm" ger han oss ett slags skissartat kondensat av sin egenartade materialistiska filosofi. Översättning, förord och kommentar av Jan Stolpe

En regnig eftermiddag bland schackspelarna på Café de la Regence i Paris stöter "Jag", en omdömesgill och välmenande upplysningsfilosof, ihop med "Han", ett av stadens allmänt bekanta original, brorson till den berömde kompositören Rameau. Denne särling har trots uppenbar musikalisk begåvning inte haft farbroderns framgång. Han bor i stället mer eller mindre på gatan, där han med sin dånande stämma och formlösa kropp bokstavligen spelar upp sig själv i all sin skiftande motsägelsefullhet. Detta bisarra beteende har lett till att han regelbundet bjuds in till fina middagar och ibland får ligga i en mjuk säng, det högsta, menar han, som livet har att ge. Nu vänder sig Rameaus brorson med full kraft mot den intet ont anande upplysningsmannen. Ett samtal tar sin början. Denis Diderot (1713-1784), hjärnan bakom den banbrytande "Encyklopedin", var en oupphörligt produktiv författare av allt från erotiska romaner till konstkritik och filosofiska traktat. "Rameaus brorson" skrevs i hemlighet och gavs ut på franska först långt efter Diderots död. Texten hör idag till hans mest lästa. Denna genomsedda och utförligt kommenterade översättning har ett nyskrivet förord av Sven-Olov Wallenstein och följs av två nyöversatta texter: "Diderots Rameaus brorson" av Michel Foucault och "Ostadigt väder och en ljudlig stämma i Diderots Rameaus brorson" av Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht. Översättning av Jan Stolpe.

This is a Divine Comedy or Pilgrim's Progress for the post-religious age. Finding himself on a quest through the forest of life towards the general rendez-vous at the end, our hero journeys first on the path of religion and faith, then the path of the philosophers where debate and ideas reign, and finally the path of worldly pursuits and pleasure. Along the way he dodges inquisitors, raging fanatics, insane philosophers, faithless lovers, and scheming social climbers. Truly a neglected classic. As Diderot said, "even if you are not amused, you may still benefit from it." This third edition was revised in 2018.

Wie fast allen Werken Diderots liegt auch diesem Werke eine Thatsache zu Grunde. Im Jahre 1757 strengte eine Nonne des Klosters Longchamp einen Proze gegen ihre Eltern an, die sie gezwungen hatten, den Schleier zu nehmen. Der damals noch allm chtige Klerus verstand es, alle Versuche des ungl cklichen Opfers, sich dem ihm aufgedrungenen Berufe zu entziehen, zu unterdr cken, und selbst der von der Ungl cklichen in Scene gesetzte ffentliche Skandal hatte keine andere Wirkung, als der rmsten eine noch schlimmere Behandlung zu verschaffen, die in ihrer ausgesuchten Grausamkeit vor den gewagtesten Mitteln nicht zur ckschreckte. Aber trotz aller Vertuschungsversuche der Geistlichkeit drang doch einiges von dem Proze in die ffentlichkeit; einige wohlwollende Leute bem chtigten sich der Sache; doch all ihr Bem hen war vergeblich, die Ungl ckliche blieb in den H nden der Geistlichkeit, und wer wei unter welch k rperlichen und seelischen Martern man sie in majorem Dei gloriam zu Tode gemartert hat. Denis Diderot (1713-1784) war ein franz sischer Schriftsteller, Philosoph, Aufkl rer und einer der wichtigsten Organisatoren und Autoren der Encyclop die. Diderot trat in seinen Werken f r die Verbreitung des Geistes der Aufkl rung, den Atheismus und gegen Aberglauben und Bigotterie ein. Diderot und seine Mitstreiter, die philosophes, berlie en nicht mehr der Kirche und ihren Agenturen die alleinige Deutungs- und Interpretationshoheit ber die Welt und die Wissenschaften. Somit gab es f r bernat rliche und irrationale Kr fte im aufgekl rten Europa sowie in Nord- und S damerika weniger Raum.

Denis Diderot (1713-1784) war ein franz sischer Abb , Schriftsteller, bersetzer, Philosoph, Aufkl rer, Literatur- und Kunsttheoretiker, Kunstagent f r die russische Zarin Katharina II. und einer der wichtigsten Organisatoren und Autoren der Encyclop die. Zusammen mit Jean-Baptiste le Rond d'Alembert war Diderot, der ber ein herausragendes universales, laut Voltaire "pantophiles" Wissen verf gte, Herausgeber der gro en franz sischen Encyclop die, zu der er selbst als Enzyklop dist etwa 6000 von insgesamt 72.000 Artikeln beitrug. Als Autor von B hnenwerken hatte er gro en Anteil am Entstehen des b rgerlichen Dramas. Seine Romane und Erz hlungen - zumeist postum erschienen wie La Religieuse, Jacques le fataliste oder Le Neveu de Rameau - leisteten in verschiedener Weise ihren Beitrag zu den gro en Themen der Zeit der (franz sischen) Aufkl rung, so zu den Fragen der Selbstbestimmung des Menschen, des Leib-Seele-Problems und des Gegensatzes von Determinismus und Willensfreiheit sowie zur Kritik an der Religion.

Immediately upon publication, this book "stirred up quite a scandal, and introduced the world to a new athlete, all the harder to beat, since he hit you from all sides at once; he seems to assume different forms, and in this respect he could say, like the devil, 'Our name is Legion'" (Naigeon, 'Memoires'). A scandal, to be sure: the book was promptly banned, burned and its anonymous author was pursued by the authorities. The author later became a guiding mind of the Englightment with his Encyclopedia. In this, his first published book, Diderot launches a sustained attack on his twin enemies: superstition (i.e. Christianity, the Bible, miracles, and revelation) and atheism. The truth, he thought, lies with deism: God is knowable through his masterpiece, the world and all it contains.
