Review :
Revue philosophique de la France et de l’étranger: "Il faut souligner la rigueur philologique de cette édition, qui met à la disposition du lecteur un apparat critique et bibliographique considérable […] Cette nouvelle édition s’annonce d’ores et déjà comme un outil de travail indispensable pour étudier ce complexe et monumental ouvrage de Voltaire qui marque un clivage dans la manière traditionnelle d’écrire l’histoire." H-France Review: "[The Essai sur les mœurs] is a masterpiece of prose that pioneered many of the foundations of modern historical study. […] This rich, learned edition promises to become the foundation and impetus for a renewed exploration of both its distance and its proximity to our own shifting conceptions of cultural history." Revue Voltaire 11: "Complète, claire, impressionnante. […] ce premier volume [t.22] révèle les principes qui guident l’entreprise ainsi que la grande qualité du travail effectué par les éditeurs. [...] Le travail d’annotation est également impressionnant. Sur ce plan, les éditeurs ont assuré un travail de coordination admirable […], produisant un commentaire qui facilite de beaucoup la lecture de cet ouvrage gigantesque. […] cette nouvelle édition s’impose désormais comme édition de référence. Tout compte fait, ce premier tome de l’édition n’est pas seulement un début prometteur, c’est un triomphe que doivent saluer tous les 'voltairistes'." Robert Evans, Regius Professor of History, University of Oxford: "The Essai sur les moeurs et l’esprit des nations is Voltaire’s longest, most comprehensive, most important and most ambitious work of history. It has tended to be overshadowed among his historical writings by the more straightforward and biographical accounts of Louis XIV and Charles XII. The Voltaire Foundation’s complete critical edition of the Essai, based on the final 1775 redaction of the text which the author so carefully crafted over several decades, will restore it to the standing it originally enjoyed. Alongside Gibbon’s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire – which appeared shortly afterwards and owed much to Voltaire – the Essai represents the acme of philosophical history in the Enlightenment mode, and it imparted a whole new impetus, rational, critical and often radically sceptical, to all subsequent study of the subject.’" Hervé Hasquin, Secrétaire perpétuel, Académie royale de Belgique: "L’Essai sur les mœurs (1756), maintes fois complété et réédité, rompt avec la tradition biblique et avec le providentialisme chrétien au nom d’une histoire écrite dans une perspective scientifique. L’enquête historique, la critique des sources et des témoignages, la volonté de traiter l’histoire de l’humanité dans sa globalité et donc de dépasser l’européo-centrisme chrétien sont la marque d’un esprit supérieur. A la Cité de Dieu, Voltaire substitue la Cité des Hommes. Au diable la transcendance! Ce qui importe, ce sont les mobiles de l’action humaine. Une nouvelle philosophie de l’histoire est née. Ce texte majeur, dont une équipe internationale de spécialistes livre ici la première véritable édition critique, est évidemment un ‘must’ pour l’historien mais aussi pour l’anthropologue, le philosophe ou l’historien des religions." Daniel Roche, Collège de France: "Dans l’Essai sur les mœurs, Voltaire rompt l’écriture traditionnelle du discours historique. A l’échelle du monde, il définit l’unique bon sujet de l’histoire, la totalité des relations sociales et leurs rapports au politique. Il relie le temps des unes et des autres à celui des mœurs dont il observe les changements par rapport à ceux des arts et des sciences et l’éloignement des individus et des peuples de la violence reculant devant la raison. C’est un idéal humain et une nouvelle philosophie des développements de l’histoire. L’équipe éditoriale rassemblée par la Voltaire Foundation met à la disposition des historiens et des honnêtes lecteurs un texte fondamental, éclairé généreusement, expliqué par une annotation pertinente, dans son contexte et dans ses références. L’édition de 2009 fera date."
