This volume has its roots in a conference held at the University Jean Moulin Lyon 3 in 2018, which was generously funded by the University Jean Moulin Lyon 3, the Institut de Recherches Philosophiques de Lyon (IRPhiL) and the Institut dâHistoire des Représentations et des Idées dans les Modernités (IHRIM, UMR 5317). The editors of this volume would like to thank the institutions for their support, as well as the authors for their patience and cooperation in seeing this volume to the press. In the final stage all authors have profited from the careful and constructive comments of the anonymous reviewer for Brill.
