«Discurso preliminar de la Enciclopedia» is the philosophical essay by Jean Le Rond d'Alembert and Denis Diderot in a hardcover edition.
The volume brings together two 18th-century texts: the preliminary discourse that d'Alembert wrote for the Encyclopédie and Diderot's investigations into the origin and nature of the beautiful, works that set out the key ideas of Enlightenment thought and serve as an introduction to the French encyclopedic project.
Part of the Historia del Pensamiento collection (No. 36). The translation from French is by Consuelo Berges, with a foreword by Antonio Rodríguez Huéscar.
For readers interested in philosophy, the history of ideas, and the foundational texts of the Enlightenment.
Jean Le Rond d'Alembert was a French mathematician, physicist, philosopher, and music theorist. Until 1759 he was, together with Denis Diderot, a co-editor of the Encyclopédie. His most famous achievements include the wave equation, also known as d'Alembert's equation, and D'Alembert's formula for solving said equation. In French, fundamental theorem of algebra is named in his honour.
