| Abstract (English): |
This paper discusses how the XVIIIth century French philosophy interpreted the multiplicity of social experiences existing on the planet in a moment of renewal of the European expansion and of the conception of the idea of a history of mankind. It especially debates the illustrated representation of China, taken as a model of civilized life diverse from the European one, and of the supposedly savage peoples of America and Africa, considered as examples of primitive societies. It particularly focuses on texts by Voltaire, Montesquieu and Rousseau. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

O artigo discute como a filosofia francesa do século XVIII interpreta a multiplicidade de experiências sociais existentes no planeta em um momento de retomada da expansão européia e de concepção da idéia de história da humanidade. Debate especialmente a representação ilustrada da China, entendida como modelo de vida civilizada diverso do europeu, e dos povos supostamente selvagens da América e da África, pensados como exemplos de sociedades primitivas. Confere particular atenção aos textos de Voltaire, Montesquieu e Rousseau. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
