The Encyclopédie (1751-1772) by Diderot and D’ Alembert is a huge milestone in the history of European publications. No previous book had ever given rise to so many mixed feelings. The Encyclopédie was an attempt by some of the most renowned academics of the time to systematise knowledge and spread the principles of universality, truth, humanity, autonomy, reason and laicism
