The keywords of the Enlightenment-freedom, tolerance, rights, equality-are today heard everywhere, and they are used to endorse a wide range of positions, some of which are in perfect contradiction. While Orwell's 1984 claims that there is one phrase in the English language that resists translation into Newspeak , namely the opening lines of that key Enlightenment text, the Declaration of Independence: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal...', we also find the Wall Street Journal saying of the Iraq War that the US was 'fighting for the very notion of the Enl

Denis Diderot's Rameau's Nephew has achieved a literary-philosophical status that no other work by Diderot shares.

Jusqu’à Descartes, les rares textes philosophiques consacrés à l’aveugle le considéraient comme nécessairement prisonnier de l’ignorance et envisageaient la cécité comme une privation. Descartes, le premier, conçoit l’aveugle comme le détenteur de lumières dont le voyant est privé. À la fin du xviie siècle puis au siècle des Lumières, l’aveugle devient une figure déterminante dans la critique de la métaphysique classique et de la théorie des facultés subjectives. Il est au cœur en particulier du fameux problème transmis par le mathématicien et opticien William Molyneux à John Locke, qui l’expose dans l’Essai sur l’entendement humain : un aveugle de naissance, à qui une opération aurait rendu la vue, saurait-il distinguer un cube d’une sphère, s’il ne pouvait que les voir sans les toucher ? Cet ouvrage propose de façon originale une histoire philosophique de la cécité à travers ses principaux penseurs - Descartes, Berkeley, Diderot, Wittgenstein... - et se clôt par une étude d’Evgen Bavcar, philosophe et aveugle, qui nous confronte au questionnement de la cécité sur elle-même à partir des analyses d’Ernst Bloch.
