L’Expérience de la perte autour du ‘moment 1800’
PHILIP KNEE
La culture de la perte naît autour du ‘moment 1800’ – l’époque où une nouvelle
appréhension de l’historicité émerge. Philip Knee examine cette expérience chez
quelques écrivains soucieux de l’héritage religieux qui les habite après la
Révolution. Il rappelle comment Montaigne, Descartes, Pascal et Rousseau
envisagent l’autorité avant 1789, puis aborde quatre facettes de la perte: la
dynamique de rupture qui procède de la Révolution et le désarroi qu’elle
engendre; l’impératif de résister à cette dynamique en redonnant vie à l’ordre
perdu; l’effort de repenser la continuité de la tradition chrétienne après les
Lumières; la tentative de ruser avec la perte pour assurer à la liberté l’autorité
dont elle a besoin.

Diderot and Rousseau: networks of Enlightenment
MARIAN HOBSON
Edited and translated by Kate E. Tunstall and Caroline Warman
Marian Hobson’s work has made a seminal contribution to our understanding of
the European Enlightenment, and of Diderot and Rousseau in particular.
Hobson’s distinctive approach is to take a given text or ‘problématique’ and
position it within its intellectual, historical and polemical context. From close
analysis of the underlying conceptual structures of literary texts, she offers a
unique insight into the vibrant networks of people and ideas at work throughout
Europe, and across disciplinary boundaries. This book presents her most
important articles in a single volume, translated into English for the first time,
making the detail of these debates accessible to everyone.

Locke’s political liberty : readings and misreadings
Ed. CHRISTOPHE MIQUEU and MASON CHAMIE
Moving beyond reductive conceptions of Locke as either central or peripheral to the development of
Enlightenment thought, historians and philosophers explore how his writings are invoked, exploited or
distorted in eighteenth-century reflections on liberty. Analyses of his reception in England and France bring
out underlying conceptual differences between the two nations, and extend an ongoing debate about the
difficulty of characterising national political epistemologies. The traditional Anglocentric view of Locke and
his influence is demystified, and what emerges is a new, more diverse vision of the reception of his political
thinking throughout Europe.
