Denne bog rummer et udvalg af tekster fra 'Den franske Encyklopædi'. Dette omfattende opslagsværk blev til i perioden 1751-72 med Diderot og d’Alembert som hovedredaktører og er blevet selve symbolet på oplysningsbevægelsen.Encyklopædiens udtalte ambition var at samle al verdens kundskab, teoretisk såvel som praktisk, for at denne kunne spredes til så mange mennesker som muligt i fremskridtet og oplysningens navn. Værket var et kollektivt projekt – intet mindre kunne gøre det, når der var tale om den encyklopædiske ambition at samle hele verdens viden i bogform. Blandt bidragyderne finder vi – ud over de to redaktører – navne som Voltaire og Jaucourt.De udvalgte artikler – med tilhørende plancher – centrerer sig især om oplysningstænkernes opgør med kirke, tradition og politiske uretfærdigheder. Over for en viden baseret på tradition, autoritet, overtro og frygt stillede man sin egen oplyste, sanddruelige og humane viden. På grund af dette stærke oplysningsmotiv og værkets altomfattende karakter lader encyklopædien sig beskrive som oplysningens bibel og som anledning til en række af tidens største kampe om meningsfrihed.

Those are the ones we write down because we keep coming back to them time and time again. Over the last thirty years, I''ve done just that, and carefully arranged my quotation collection, into this book, Ageless Wisdom. This compilation of quotes is not meant to be the largest collection, but the wisest, which shares the greatest of thoughts; as George Eliot poetically wrote, "A book which hath been culled from the flowers of all books."There''s just something mesmerizing about being able to pick up one book, and having the wisdom of many of the world''s greatest minds, at your immediate disposal. Ageless Wisdom is just that, a rich storehouse for those who love quotations. It contains a refreshing newness of quotes most have never been introduced to, not just another rearranging of old tired quotations. This quote collection, of nearly 600 pages, is arranged into six parts: THE EMOTIONAL EFFECTSTHE SPIRITUAL JOURNEYTHE SOCIAL LIFETHE INTELLECTUAL IDEASTHE ETHICAL CHOICETHE MATERIAL WORLDInside these six parts, are quotations broken down into 128 categories from over 1000 sources, which were written over a 3,500-year period.
