The Diderot & D'Alembert
Encyclopédie gives an impressive image of the French science and technology status at the mid of eightheenth century. The over 20 volumes of the planches offer a complete scenario of the applied sciences and arts in the Enlightenment times.
The organization of the knowledge is illustrated in the
Discours préliminaire and represented in «
Le système figuré des connaissances humaines ».
