Kuzynek mistrza Rameau

Wprowadzenie

Diderot never published the dialogue. Its speakers are “Moi”, a philosopher close to Diderot himself, and “Lui”, Jean-François Rameau, nephew of the composer Jean-Philippe Rameau, who meet at the Café de la Régence in Paris. Lui is a gifted musician, mimic and hanger-on who performs whole operas in pantomime and argues that in a corrupt society the only sensible morality is flattery and self-interest; the philosopher does not clearly win the argument. Goethe translated it from a manuscript copy; a reliable French text was printed only in 1891, after Diderot’s own manuscript had been found. Hegel took up the work in the Phenomenology of Spirit (1807) as a picture of the self-alienated, “disrupted” consciousness of culture.
