Summary
Fénelon is arguably one of the most neglected major philosophers of early modernity. His political masterwork was the most-read book in 18th-century France after the Bible, and yet today even specialists rarely engage his work directly. This problem is particularly acute in the Anglophone world, where only a small fraction of Fénelon's vast and influential corpus has appeared in modern English translation. This collection of new translations of Fénelon's moral and political writings renders one of the leading voices of early modern philosophy accessible to English-language audiences.
Note
Translated from the French.
