Paper Summary:
A detailed analysis of the processes of fictionalization and alterity amongst Eighteenth-Century French philosophers, with particular reference to the work of Diderot, Prevost and Rousseau. The paper also draws on the criticism of Kristeva and Todorov.From the Paper:
"In attempting to portray the foreign Other, many eighteenth-century authors grappled with issues of fictional representation. This is particularly problematic when the figure of the Other is being employed, as it was in many cases, to act as a mouthpiece for the philosophical truths that the writer wished to convey. The inevitability of the process of fictionalization is brought about not despite the intentions of these authors but precisely because of the agenda with which they approached the creation of their texts."More papers on Eighteenth-Century French Writing:
