Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review'Articles present fascinating arguments about the use and production of knowledge in the eighteenth century. [...] Using the Encyclopédie is a useful if predictably uneven collection of articles. It is likely to interest scholars focusing on the particular subjects covered in the articles, as well as those looking for inspiration or insight regarding the Encyclopédie in general.'
