19. BERNARD LE BOVIER DE FONTENELLE - LoveToKnow Article On BERNARD LE BOVIER DE FON fontenelle, bernard LE BOVIER de (16571757),. French author, was born at Rouen,on the 11th of February 165 7. He died in Paris, on the 9th of January 1757 http://54.1911encyclopedia.org/F/FO/FONTENELLE_BERNARD_LE_BOVIER_DE.htm

BERNARD LE BOVIER DE FONTENELLE FONTENELLE, BERNARD LE BOVIER DE His Letires galantes du chevalier dHer . . ., published anonymously in 1685, was an amusing collection of stories that immediately made its mark. In. 1686 his famous allegory of Rome and Geneva, slightly disguised as the rival princesses Mreo and Eenegu, in the Relation de lile de Borneo, gave proof of his daring in religious matters. But it was by his Nouveaux Dialogues des morts (f 683) that Fontenelle established a genuine claim to high literary rank; and that claim was enhanced three years later by the appearance of the Entretiens sur la pluralit des mondes (1686), a work which was among the very first to illustrate the possibility of being scientific without being either uninteresting or unintelligible to the ordinary reader. His object was to popularize among his countrymen the astronomical theories of Descartes; and it may well be doubted if that philosopher ever ranked a more ingenious or successful expositor among his disciples. Hitherto Fontenelle had made his home in Rouen, but in 1687 he removed to Paris; and in the same year he published his Hisloire des oracles, a book which made a considerable stir in theological and philosophical circles. It consisted of two essays, the first of which was designed to prove that oracles were not given by the supernatural agency of demons, and the second that they did not cease with the birth of Christ. It excited the suspicion of the Church, and a Jesuit, by name Baltus, published a ponderous refutation of it; but the peace-loving disposition of its author impelled him to leave his opponent unanswered. To the following year (I 688) belongs his Digression sur les anciens et les inodernes, in which he took the modern side in the controversy then raging; his Doutes sur le systme physique des causes occasionnelles (against Malebranche) appeared shortly afterwards.

20. Fontenelle (Bernard Le Bovier De) http://www.proverbes-citations.com/fontenelle.htm

Fontenelle, Bernard le Bovier de (1657-1757), philosophe et poète français qui annonça l'esprit des Lumières en vulgarisant des théories scientifiques nouvelles. Né à Rouen, neveu de Pierre et Thomas Corneille, fils d'avocat, il fréquenta le collège des jésuites, étudia le droit et se consacra très tôt à la littérature. Il avait vingt ans lorsque son oncle Thomas l'engagea comme collaborateur dans sa revue, le Mercure galant. En 1680, il fit jouer Aspar , dont la représentation fut un échec. Il retourna alors à Rouen, et publia, entre 1682 et 1687, des textes qui le firent connaître en tant que philosophe et scientifique soucieux de vulgarisation intelligente, plus encore que comme poète (il composa des poésies précieuses, des opéras et des tragédies). Parmi ses nombreux ouvrages, on peut citer: la République des philosophes , roman utopique vantant une démocratie radicale, matérialiste et athée ; les Dialogues des morts , imités de Lucien, qui rapportent des conversations fictives entre Sénèque et Scarron, Socrate et Montaigne ; un article ironique sur la rivalité entre les religions juive, catholique et calviniste ; des Entretiens sur la pluralité des mondes , vulgarisation des théories de Copernic ; un traité sur
