Fontanelle
Bernard Le Bovier de Fontenelle (1657-1757) was a French writer and philosopher known for his contributions to the fields of science and literature during the Enlightenment. His works often blended scientific inquiry with literary flair, making complex ideas more accessible to the general public. In his correspondence, he critiqued cultural assumptions and prejudices, arguing that moral perceptions and social norms are shaped by custom and education, rather than being innate truths.
