En 1894, un siècle après sa mort, Condorcet est porté au faîte de la gloire par la troisième République. Pourquoi et comment un philosophe des Lumières, mathématiciens, révolutionnaire, devient-il l’un des héros peuplant la mémoire collective ? L’évènement ne s’inscrit pas dans un continuum historique et n’est pas l’aboutissement d’un long processus qui aurait commencé dès la disparition du personnage. Les auteurs qui commentent et interprètent la pensée, 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 même configuration idéalogique car chaque exégète opère des choix dans l’oeuvre du philosophe et en récuse des pans entiers. Pour rendre compte de cette prolixité du fait interprétatif, la démarche se situe à la rencontre de l’étude conceptuelle et symbolique. L’analyse des formes textuelles et des concepts philosophiques s’articule à une analyse des effets institutionnels et à une exploration de l’imaginaire (iconographie, statuomanie, célébrations). La perméabilité et l’entrelacement de ces types discursifs permettent de définir la plasticité de la figure de Condorcet qui conduit à la naissance posthume de l’eidôlon: à la fois image et sens.

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 Lattré, 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 Dépôt 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 rôle of cartography in eighteenth-century politics.

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.
