Image description

Bernard Le Bouyer (Le Bovier) de Fontenelle (1657-1757), French philosopher and writer, early 18th century. Hand-coloured aquatint by Sergent Marceau, of Bernard Le Bovier de Fontenelle (1657-1757). Fontenelle was made secretary, and later president, to the Academie des Sciences (1699-1741) during which time he paved the way for the ideas of the Enlightenment. He specialised in the interpretation of science: his works include 'Dialogues des morts' (1683), observations on humanity 'Histoire des oracles' (1687), which attacks superstition 'L'Origine des fables' (1724), on the origin of religions and 'Entretiens sur la pluralite des mondes' (1686), on the Copernican system. ©SSPL/Science Museum
