Raynal also examines commerce religion slavery and other popular subjects all with a perspective from the French Enlightenment." â€“ Wikip. Born April 12 1713 at Saint-Geniez in Rouergue Raynal received a Jesuit education at Pezenas. "Collaboration was crucial to Raynal's greatest achievement as an editor and author. It was Raynal after all who shepherded into print one of the eighteenth century's most influential collective efforts the massive Histoire philosophique et politique des etablissements et du commerce des Europeens dans les deux Indes a philosophical and political history . . . Printed in three "authorized" versions edited by Raynal 1770 1774 and 1780 the Histoire des deux Indes was the work of a score of authors among them Denis Diderot Jean le Rond d'Alembert Charles Pinot-Duclos and Paul-Henri Thiry The Baron d'Holbach 1723-1789. Diderot and d'Holbach denounced the tyranny of despotism which touched a nerve from the French monarchy resulting in the book being condemned by the French parliament in 1781. Raynal was exiled from France and in fact an order was issued for his arrest even though his name did not appear on the first edition of the work. The Histoire des deux Indes attempted a comprehensive history of the contemporary European colonial enterprise in the Far East and the Atlantic world. Beginning with the fifteenth-century Portuguese explorations and culminating with a sweeping analysis of all colonial powers in the eighteenth century the Histoire laid bare the progress of conquest for each European nation and its trading companies. Often the 'progress' translated into the abuses made possible by the disproportionate use of force and state-sponsored trading monopolies. No colonial power was spared. . ." â€“ Bill Marshall Cristina Johnston France and The Americas: Culture Politics And History ABC-CLIO 2005 p. 978. "Diderot was one of the most forceful critics of European colonization. In his contributions to Raynal's Histoire des deux Indes he challenges the view that indigenous people benefit from European civilization and argues that the European colonists are the uncivilized ones. He claims that culture "national character" helps to inculcate morality and reinforces norms of respect but these norms tend to dissipate when the individual is far from his country of origin. According to Diderot colonial empires frequently become the sites of extreme brutality because the colonists are far away from legal institutions and informal sanctions and this weakens the habits of restraint exposing natural man's full instinct for violence Muthu 2003." â€“ Margaret Kohn "Colonialism" Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.
