Voltaire, Rousseau, Diderot--of the triumvirate that dominated French letters in the eighteenth century, Diderot was unmatched in the sheer breadth and depth of his interests and ideas. Rameau's Nephew and D'Alembert's Dream are dazzling exposés of Diderot's radical scientific and philosophical thinking. Written in dialogue form, they were too outspoken to be published during the lifetime of one whose ideas earned him enemies as fast as they stimulated new criteria for social progress. Of the two pieces, Rameau's Nephew was composed over many years, and in form and content it is an explosive cocktail unlike anything in French literature before or since. D'Alembert's Dream, on the other hand, was committed to paper in a matter of days; a clarion call for the cause of materialist determinism, it too shows Diderot as one of the most advanced thinkers of his age and is a powerful testament to the bizarre and unpredictable genius of its creator.… (altro)

This was not for me. A philosophical treatise comparing the viewpoints of a moralist with an amoralist set up as a chance meeting of two guys in a cafe. I found the whole thing pretty tedious to listen to although Diderot occasionally put together a nimble turn of phrase that made me chuckle.

I appreciate that this was an important book at the time, mostly because it pushed the boundaries of what was considered possible in a novel, and it was influential for that. On the whole though, this was one that will not long remain in my memory and I'm glad I've put behind me.

Thankfully it's short, but it's very dated and constant references to characters, events and ideas that I've no clue about didn't help. If you are going to read this, I suggest you pick up an edition that has notes and stuff to help you make sense of it all, if you can be bothered that is. ( )

This book is decribes political philosophy in 18th Century France using a qusai-humorous, qusai- serious tone. An average read. ( )
