17903002018Paris: Jean-Francois Bastien 1790. One or two joints slightly weak. Eight volumes octavo engraved portrait frontispiece in volume 1 and a folding plate in vol. 2; a fine set in contemporary French polished marbled calf; flat spines ornately gilt with double red labels. <p><p>A very attractive set of Fontenelle's works including his enormously popular Entretiens sur la Pluralité des Mondes: this utopian analysis of the universe took Europe by storm and was precursor and inspiration to scores of imitations. It was first published in 1686 and first translated into English by Aphra Behn only two years later.</p> <p>Although the Entretiens clearly owes a tremendous debt to the astronomical traditions of Galileo and Brahe Fontenelle's sensational tale of the inhabitants in "other planets in other galaxies and even on comets could hardly fail to captivate" Nina Rattner Gelbart Introduction to the Conversations on the Plurality of Worlds. In the form of an elegant dialogue between a scientist and a Marquise it takes as its starting point that "Toute la philosophie n'est fondée sur deux choses: sur ce qu'on a l'esprit curieux et les yeux mauvais": that is that if we had a perfect understanding we would not need science because all would be spontaneously revealed. Meant as a quick summation of scientific discovery but also as pure speculation on the possibilities of the universe it suggests that as it has taken six millennia for Europeans to cross the Atlantic Ocean to America it may take a little longer for the inhabitants of other worlds to cross the far greater expanses of space.</p> <p>This set also includes "Dialogues des Morts anciens" and "Histoire des Oracles" works which exemplify Fontenelle's desire to propagate philosophical thinking. Voltaire described Fontenelle as having the most universal mind produced by the era of Louis XIV.</p> </p> . Jean-Francois Bastien unknown
