Mélanges de littérature, d’histoire et de philosophie
Publication type: Book
Author:Alembert (Jean Le Rond d')
Scientific editor:Groult (Martine)
Abstract: Never republished, d’Alembert’s Mélanges were written during his dark years, a compilation of pieces about the Encyclopédie, people of letters, probability, inoculation, Tacitus, and philosophy. They shed light on an ordering of knowledge based on understanding for a public that was weary of words and wanted things.
