This study explores the problems faced by writers of the
Enlightenment, who attempted to demystify all previous forms of
knowledge by applying rationalist critiques that can in turn be
applied to examine their own critical work. It focuses on the works
of one of the best-known writers of eighteenth-century France,
Denis Diderot, analysing his experimentation with presenting
critical knowledge. Paying close attention to the formal-poetic
nature of Diderot's writing, his 'art', it examines the interplay
between critical knowledge and its representation, between
epistemology and aesthetics. Professor Brewer shows how Diderot's
work in the areas of philosophy, science, the fine arts and
literature pushed Enlightenment critique to its limits, and points
to its remarkable similarity to aspects of modern critical theory.
