With notable economy and vigor, Preliminary Discourse to the
Encyclopedia of Diderot expresses the hopes, dogmas, assumptions,
and prejudices that characterized the French Enlightenment. In this
preface to the Encyclopedia, d'Alembert traces the history of
intellectual progress from the Renaissance to 1751. Including a
revision of Diderot's Prospectus and a list of contributors to the
Encyclopedia, this edition, elegantly translated and introduced by
Professor Richard Schwab, is one of the great works of the
Enlightenment and an outstanding introduction to the philosophes.
