Encyclopédie, ou dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers
(
Encyclopaedia, or a Systematic Dictionary of the Sciences, Arts, and Crafts
) is a general encyclopedia published in
France
between 1751 and 1772, with later supplements, revised editions, and translations. It had many writers. It was edited by
Denis Diderot
and, until 1759, co-edited by
Jean le Rond d'Alembert
.
The
Encyclopédie
is most famous for representing the thought of the
Enlightenment
. According to Denis Diderot in the article "Encyclopédie", the
Encyclopédie'
s aim was "to change the way people think".
[1]
He and the other contributors advocated for the
secularization
of learning away from the
Jesuits
.
[2]
Diderot wanted to incorporate all of the world's knowledge into the
Encyclopédie
and hoped that the text could disseminate all this information to the public and future generations.
[3]
It was also the first encyclopedia to include contributions from many named contributors, and it was the first general encyclopedia to describe the
mechanical arts
.
André Le Breton
, a bookseller and printer, approached Diderot with a project for the publication of a translation of
Ephraim Chambers
'
Cyclopaedia, or Universal Dictionary of Arts and Sciences
into French, first undertaken by the Englishman
John Mills
, and followed by the German
Gottfried Sellius
.
[8]
Diderot accepted the proposal, and transformed it. He persuaded Le Breton to publish a new work, which would consolidate ideas and knowledge from the
Republic of Letters
. The publishers found capital for a larger enterprise than they had first planned.
Jean le Rond d'Alembert
was persuaded to become Diderot's colleague; and permission was procured from the government.
In 1750 an elaborate prospectus announced the project, and in 1751 the first volume was published.
[8]
This work was unorthodox and advanced for the time. Diderot stated that "An encyclopedia ought to make good the failure to execute such a project hitherto, and should encompass not only the fields already covered by the academies, but each and every branch of human knowledge." Comprehensive knowledge will give "the power to change men's common way of thinking."
[31]
The work combined scholarship with information on trades. Diderot emphasized the abundance of knowledge within each subject area. Everyone would benefit from these insights.
