    About this audiobook

    Known as the ‘Age of Enlightenment,’ the 1700s was a time that provoked significant leaps in philosophical thought.

    Most importantly, the thinkers of the time espoused the virtues of happiness, the evidence provided by the senses, and the distance between organised religion and the state.

    ‘500 Quotations from the Great Philosophers of the 18th Century’ offers a fascinating insight into the philosophical revolution that was taking place at the time.

    A superb book for dipping in and out of, this makes a great gift for anyone with an interest in philosophy.

    Nicolas de Chamfort (1741 – 1794) was a political philosopher who attacked the French monarchy through antiroyalist writing. Also born in France, Denis Diderot (1713 – 1784) was a writer and central figure in the Age of Enlightenment.

    Scottish economist, Adam Smith (1723 – 1790) wrote treatises on morality and economics. German physicist, Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742 – 1799) satirised superstition and wrote extensively about natural phenomena. Pierre Beaumarchais (1732 – 1799) was a French playwright, spy, diplomat, and watchmaker.

    Denis Diderot

    Denis Diderot (Langres, 1713 - París, 1784). Escriptor i filòsof, va estudiar a la Universitat de París i, amb D'Alembert, va dirigir entre el 1751 i el 1772 la redacció de l'Encyclopédie, una de les obres més grandioses i influents de la Il·lustració. Autor de Pensaments filosòfics (1746) o Carta sobre els cecs per a ús dels que hi veuen (1749), entre moltes altres obres, va publicar també la novel·la La monja (1760) i els diàlegs El nebot de Rameau (1761) i El somni de D'Alembert (1769). La novel·la Jacques el Fatalista i el seu amo només va circular en vida de l'autor per lliuraments entre un públic selecte i no es va editar en forma de llibre fins l'any 1796, dotze anys després de la seva mort.
