Despite their independence, cats have enjoyed (one hopes) a relationship with humans that has lasted for thousands of years. Literally millions of cats were mummified in Egypt while excavations of Neolithic sites in the Near East have uncovered many cat burials. Erhard Osser's study draws on archaeological, artistic, literary and historical evidence to survey the history of the man's friendship with the cat through the millennia, whilst also tracing changes in the symbolism of the cat which has often been positive but has also been negative. Following a discussion of Victoria attitudes towards the cat, the book goes back to ancient Egypt and traces te history of the relationship through antiquity to more recent centuries when, for a time, cats and witchcraft became inseperable. The reasons behind superstitions, such as the Black Cat and the nine lives are also discussed, as is the contribution cats made to the control of urban rat populations and, therefore, to human health. German text.

L'Encyclopedie a deux objets: en tant que telle, elle doit exposer autant qu'il est possible, l'ordre et l'enchainement des connaissances humaines; comme Dictionnaire raisonne des sciences, des arts et des metiers, elle doit contenir sur chaque science et sur chaque art, soit liberal, soit mecanique, des principes generaux qui en sont la base, et les details les plus essentiels qui en font le corps et la substance. Le Discours preliminaire sert d'introduction a l'Encyclopedie, oeuvre collective qui s'adressait a un vaste public. Cette fonction a commande le contenu et le style. Mais D'Alembert s'est trouve bien de cette ecriture, et c'est un fait qu'il a par la suite traite le Discours comme une oeuvre independante et personnelle. Il en tira gloire et honneur, et devint rapidement l'une des figures majeures du parti des philosophes. Et certainement, son merite est grand; moins par les theses qu'il defend que par la lucidite avec laquelle il les pense et les exprime; lucidite qui se change en un remarquable sens critique, quand il faut penser et apprecier l'ordre de la connaissance.
