Seller's Description:
New York. 1982. George Braziller. 1st Printing. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0807610356. 274 pages. hardcover. Jacket design: Peter McKenzie. keywords: Literary Criticism France Philosophy. FROM THE PUBLISHER-In DIDEROT: REASON AND RESONANCE Elisabeth de Fontenay seeks to explain and. expound the philosophy, ideas, and humanism of this eighteenth-century philosophe, to re-posit him in the context of the Enlightenment, as well as in the history of ideas and in the forefront of the twentieth century. Diderot, the director of the Encyclopedia, which was to include all knowledge, was interested in everything that could be learned and experienced through the mind, the sensibility, and especially the senses, but was limited by the science of his age. De Fontenay knows no such obstacles; her reading of Diderot is imbued with her knowledge of history, philosophy, the history of philosophy, anthropology, psycho-analysis, Marxism, Existentialism, Nazism, and feminism. She treats Diderot as an eccentric in both senses of the word, exploring the oscillations in the development of his pluralistic philosophy; his refusal of totalitarianisms, unity, centrality; his search for diversity, diffusion and dispersion; and his willful freedom from systems. Elisabeth de Fontenay gives a sense of the diverse man, the philosopher (Sceptic, Epicurean and Materialist), the thinker, the Don Juan of the mind, the conversationalist. The book deals at length and fascinatingly with the relationship between Diderot's thought and music, between reason and resonance, between musical instruments and human organs. In its own way, de Fontenay's work is as polyphonic as that of Diderot-Diderot is so rich in thought, states de Fontenay, that no interpretation can exhaust him. Perhaps not; but she comes very close (in the best sense) while opening new vistas on our century and those preceding it, on ideas and ideals. inventory #2538.
