Diderot, Encyclopédie , Enlightenment , RepresentationAbstract
The aim of this paper is to offer an interpretation of some of Diderot’s reflections in the article ENCYCLOPÉDIE, which are mostly related to the problem of the passage of time and its repercussions on the design of the work. In particular, I am interested in linking this problem to a more complex issue that is always present in our author’s considerations: that of the critical power of the Encyclopédie and the way in which it could serve as a vehicle for Enlightenment interests. My intention is to approach this subject by following a path that I have already followed on other occasions (especially in the fields of aesthetics and epistemology) and which has the concept of representation as its central element.
