The shift in the interpretation of eighteenth-century European
culture over the last century provokes the questions: what meaning
can be ascribed to that notion at the beginning of the twenty-first
century? and how should we see Diderot's response to it? This
collection of essays re-examines Diderot's uniquely rich
relationship with the intellectual life of European nations, and
his crucial role in focusing, connecting and spreading its many
strands. While sharing certain Eurocentric prejudices, he held a
more liberated view of a common humanity and the universal nature
of human aspirations. These essays explore his interest in those
hybrid, borderline zones, where systems, hierarchies, and national
or disciplinary boundaries come under productive stress. What
emerges is the irreducibility of his writing, which resists
incorporation into any officially sanctioned canon. The Diderot
being created by today's scholars is truly protean, not so much
French, or even European, as global, a cultural icon for the modern
age.

This collection of eighty-nine letters written by Parisian and
other European map publishers to the London map firm of Jefferys
& Faden represents one of the few business archives left to us
from the eighteenth-century map trade. Thomas Jefferys
(c.1720-1771) and William Faden (1749-1836) both enjoyed the title
of 'Geographer to the King of England' and were well respected by
other geographers of the period. Like many of his contemporaries in
the map trade, Jefferys had difficulty making a financial success
of his map business; his successor Faden, by contrast, was able to
expand the firm into a flourishing business which continued well
into the nineteenth century. Their correspondents included
important European map and print publishers such as Covens &
Mortier in Amsterdam and Lattre, Julien and Desnos in Paris, as
well as the French geographers d'Anville and Robert de Vaugondy.
Other persons mentioned in the correspondence provide links between
Faden's London firm and the Depot de la Marine, the French Navy's
cartographic department, an important connection in the tumultuous
decade of 1773-1783 when England found itself at war with France in
North America, in the English Channel, and in India. The letters
also provide a detailed view of the costs of doing business -
prices, discount, payment, schedules and methods, shipping costs
and arrangements- in the last quarter of the eighteenth century and
further increase our knowledge of the economics of map production
and sales in this period. The letters are now in the Manuscript
Division of the William L. Clements Library at the University of
Michigan. In this edition they have been transcribed and fully
annotated and are preceded by an introduction placing the
correspondence in the context of the print and book trade and the
role of cartography in eighteenth-century politics.

En 1894, un siecle apres sa mort, Condorcet est porte au faite de
la gloire par la troisieme Republique. Pourquoi et comment un
philosophe des Lumieres, mathematiciens, revolutionnaire,
devient-il l'un des heros peuplant la memoire collective ?
L'evenement ne s'inscrit pas dans un continuum historique et n'est
pas l'aboutissement d'un long processus qui aurait commence des la
disparition du personnage. Les auteurs qui commentent et
interpretent la pensee, l'action ou la vie de Condorcet,
appartiennent aux horizons politiques et philosophiques les plus
divers; leurs discours respectifs s'affrontent souvent. Parfois des
lignes de fractures traversent une meme configuration idealogique
car chaque exegete opere des choix dans l'oeuvre du philosophe et
en recuse des pans entiers. Pour rendre compte de cette prolixite
du fait interpretatif, la demarche se situe a la rencontre de
l'etude conceptuelle et symbolique. L'analyse des formes textuelles
et des concepts philosophiques s'articule a une analyse des effets
institutionnels et a une exploration de l'imaginaire (iconographie,
statuomanie, celebrations). La permeabilite et l'entrelacement de
ces types discursifs permettent de definir la plasticite de la
figure de Condorcet qui conduit a la naissance posthume de
l'eidolon: a la fois image et sens.
