A spirited biography of the prophetic and sympathetic philosopher who helped build the foundations of the modern world. Denis Diderot is often associated with the decades-long battle to bring the world's first comprehensive Encyclopédie into existence. But his most daring writing took place in the shadows. Thrown into prison for his atheism in 1749, Diderot decided to reserve his best books for posterity--for us, in fact. In the astonishing cache of unpublished writings left behind after his death, Diderot challenged virtually all of his century's accepted truths, from the sanctity of monarchy, to the racial justification of the slave trade, to the norms of human sexuality. One of Diderot's most attentive readers during his lifetime was Catherine the Great, who not only supported him financially, but invited him to St. Petersburg to talk about the possibility of democratizing the Russian empire. In this thematically organized biography, Andrew S. Curran vividly describes Diderot's tormented relationship with Rousseau, his curious correspondence with Voltaire, his passionate affairs, and his often iconoclastic stands on art, theater, morality, politics, and religion. But what this book brings out most brilliantly is how the writer's personal turmoil was an essential part of his genius and his ability to flout taboos, dogma, and convention.

《狄德罗与自由思考的艺术》从某种程度可以看作是狄德罗的传记。作者柯伦的可贵之处不仅在于对狄德罗的研究与探索之透彻,更在于他能够将这个千变万化而又复杂的伟大人物以最容易理解的语言呈现给读者。 感叹之余,遵循书中提到的理念——“狄德罗认为,艺术家创作出最好的作品... (展开)《狄德罗与自由思考的艺术》:天才哲人的一生与哲思
