Aprašymas

An illuminating study of the marriages and family lives of Diderot, Lavoisier, and other geniuses of the Age of Reason.

We may imagine the lone scientific or philosophical genius generating insights in isolation--but in reality, the families of scientists and philosophers during the Enlightenment played a substantial role, not only making space for inquiry within the home but also assisting in observing, translating, calculating, and illustrating.

Sentimental Savants is the first book to explore the place of the family among the savants of the French Enlightenment, a group that openly embraced their families and domestic lives, even going so far as to test out their ideas, from education to inoculation, on their own children. Meghan K. Roberts delves into the lives and work of such major figures as Denis Diderot, Emilie Du Chatelet, the Marquis de Condorcet, Antoine Lavoisier, and Jerome Lalande to paint a striking portrait of how sentiment and reason interacted in the eighteenth century to produce not only new kinds of knowledge but new kinds of families as well.

"[A] well-crafted study...an important contribution to what Robert Darnton has called 'the social history of ideas.'"--Choice
