Blindness and Enlightenment presents a reading and translation of
Diderots Letter on the Blind for Use by the Sighted (the first
translation into English since the eighteenth-century). Diderot was
the founder and editor of the Encyclopdie, a novelist, a
philosopher and an active proponent of democratic ideals. His
Letter on the Blind is essential reading for anyone interested in
Enlightenment philosophy or eighteenth-century literature. By
discussing the blind, Diderot undercuts a central assumption of the
Enlightenment, present in the very term itself in its reference to
light, namely that moral and philosophical insight was dependent on
seeing.
