The Encyclopédie was a revolutionary work that brought together the knowledge of the Enlightenment in a single, accessible volume.

The Encyclopédie was a huge success, and it helped to spread the ideas of the Enlightenment throughout Europe. It also had a profound impact on American thought, and it was one of the most important sources of information for the Founding Fathers.

Diderot and the Encyclopaedists: The Complete Edition is a comprehensive and authoritative work on the life and work of Denis Diderot and his fellow Encyclopaedists. This meticulously researched and beautifully illustrated volume provides a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual and cultural landscape of 18th-century France.
