This well-worn copy of “The Encyclopedia: Selections” by Denis Diderot offers a glimpse into one of the most influential works of the Enlightenment era. Diderot, along with other prominent thinkers like Voltaire and Rousseau, sought to compile and disseminate knowledge across various fields, challenging the status quo and paving the way for revolutionary ideas. This anthology presents carefully curated excerpts from Diderot’s magnum opus, the Encyclopédie, a 28-volume work that took over two decades to complete. Despite its age and modest appearance, this book holds immense historical and intellectual significance, serving as a testament to the Enlightenment’s pursuit of reason, empiricism, and progress. Collectors and readers alike will appreciate the opportunity to delve into the seminal thoughts that helped shape modern Western civilization.
