In the Oriental Shadow of the French Enlightenment
How the Philosophes Used the Other to Critique the Cultural Self
by Rebecca Joubin and Sophia Nissler
In the Oriental Shadow of the French Enlightenment systematically examines the treatment of Islamic and Arab civilization in the French encyclopedias, dictionaries, and the illustrious Encyclopédie, the prodigious and formidable work that weaves together the vast tapestry of dissenting thought in eighteenth-century France and exposes the establishment of a sub-genre topos of the Oriental as Other as a means to avoid censorship and provide an indirect, albeit potent, method of selfcriticism.
