Ebook: Wildes Wissen in der «Encyclopédie»: Koloniale Alterität, Wissen und Narration in der französischen Aufklärung

Knowledge of the colonial Other represents a real challenge in the final work of the French Enlightenment: Diderot’s and d’Alembert’s Encyclopedia (1751–1772). This knowledge is a challenge for the self-positioning of European philosophy, for the rational categories of European knowledge, and especially for encyclopedic construction and narration.
