As our understanding of the Enlightenment has become more capacious, it makes it difficult
to disentangle the messy history of Enlightenment, equality, and racial classification.
This book aims to make sense of this complicated history by searching for the ways
in which equality and race, human sameness and difference, may have been linked in
Enlightenment thought. How was the tension between these ideas dealt with and possibly
resolved? And what do transformations in thinking about equality and race tell us
about the Enlightenment as an intellectual movement? To address these questions, Vartija
has chosen three influential Enlightenment encyclopedias as his main corpus of primary
sources: Ephraim Chambers's Cyclopaedia (London, 1728), Denis Diderot and Jean le
Rond d'Alembert's Encyclopédie (Paris, 1751-1765), and Fortunato Bartolomeo De Felice's
Encyclopédie d'Yverdon (Yverdon, 1770-1775)
