Rameau’s Nephew and First Satire (Oxford World’s Classics) by Denis Diderot (PDF)

Description

unless you know everything, you really know nothing’Diderot’s brilliant and witty dialogue begins with a chance encounter in a Paris café between two acquaintances. Their talk ranges broadly across art, music, education, and the contemporary scene, as the nephew of composer Rameau, amoral and bohemian, alternately shocks and amuses the moral, bourgeois figure of his interlocutor. Exuberant and highly entertaining, the dialogue exposes the corruption of society in Diderot’s characteristic philosophical exploration.The debates of the French Enlightenment speak to us vividly in this sparkling new translation, which also includes the First Satire , a related work that provides the context for Rameau’s Nephew, Diderot’s ‘second satire’.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐It strongly influenced Karl Marx and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, can you afford not to read it.

⭐rameau’s nephew is quoted in foucault’s history of madness as an important step in the perception of unreason

⭐Very good read, had this for my Philosophy dialogue class.

⭐I originally read it in French during the late 1960s and recently bought an English translation (Margaret Mauldon OUP 2006). My French is no longer up to scratch and I had wanted to reappraise this book as it had a major effect on my later fiction, brainstorming, avant-gardeness, and, yes, the act of gestalt real-time reviewing itself.It was even better than I remembered.The detailed review of this book posted elsewhere under my name is too long to post here.
