Encyclopédie, ou dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers
(
Encyclopaedia, or a Systematic Dictionary of the Sciences, Arts, and Crafts
) is a general encyclopedia. Diderot wanted to incorporate all of the world's knowledge into the
Encyclopédie
and hoped that the text could disseminate all this information to the public and future generations.
In 1750 an elaborate prospectus announced the project, and in 1751 the first volume was published.
This work was unorthodox and advanced for the time. Diderot stated that "An encyclopedia ought to make good the failure to execute such a project hitherto, and should encompass not only the fields already covered by the academies, but each and every branch of human knowledge." Comprehensive knowledge will give "the power to change men's common way of thinking."
The work combined scholarship with information on trades. Diderot emphasized the abundance of knowledge within each subject area. Everyone would benefit from these insights.
