Le reve d'Alembert(Philosophie)

by Denis Diderot

Condition: Poor Condition — £1.97

Poor Condition — £1.97

What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

New - a brand new book
Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Diderot: Political Writings (Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought)

"Je crois vous avoir dit que j'avais fait un dialogue entre d'Alembert et moi. En le relisant, il m'a pris en fantaisie d'en faire un second, et il a été fait. Les interlocuteurs sont d'Alembert qui rêve, Bordeu et l'amie de d'Alembert, mademoiselle de Lespinasse. Il est intitulé Le Rêve de d'Alembert. Il n'est pas possible d'être plus profond et plus fou. J'y ai ajouté après coup cinq ou six pages capables de faire dresser les cheveux à mon amoureuse, aussi ne les verra-t-elle jamais ; mais ce qui va bien vous surprendre, c'est qu'il n'y a pas un seul mot de religion, et pas un seul mot déshonnête ; après cela, je vous défie de deviner ce que ce peut être." Ainsi Diderot annonce-t-il, dans une lettre à Sophie Volland, l'un des textes philosophiques les plus étonnants du XVIIIe siècle. Une philosophie matérialiste est-elle possible ? La sensibilité de la matière est-elle pensable ? Suffit-elle pour expliquer la vie, la pensée et l'unité du sujet ? De la médecine à la morale, l'excursion métaphysique rencontre sur son chemin un clavecin sensible, un essaim d'abeilles, une araignée et des chèvre-pieds...
