Ce livre se propose, � travers le portrait du traducteur Antoine Lasalle, d'�clairer la diffusion et la r�ception de la philosophie baconienne en France � la fin du XVIIIe si�cle et pendant la premi�re moiti� du si�cle suivant, mais aussi de montrer dans sa mat�rialit� le travail du traducteur et l'influence de son r�seau scientifique, politique et amical �tendu sur la diffusion de l'oeuvre de Francis Bacon en France entre la R�volution et la seconde restauration. Il se penche �galement sur le devenir de cette traduction - appel�e de ses voeux par les encyclop�distes, puis par le Comit� d'instruction publique - apr�s sa publication. Elle a �t� violemment critiqu�e d�s la sortie des premiers volumes par le g�ologue suisse Andr� Deluc, qui consid�rait qu'elle faisait la promotion d'un Bacon ath�e. Elle a pourtant �t� r��dit�e partiellement � plusieurs reprises, avec ou sans le nom de son traducteur, avant que le travail de ce dernier soit paradoxalement r�habilit� peu de temps avant sa mort dans un ouvrage � charge contre Bacon r�dig� par le penseur catholique Joseph de Maistre. Through a portrait of the translator Antoine Lasalle, this book aims at shedding light on the circulation and reception of Baconian philosophy in France at the end of the eighteenth century. It explores the work of the translator and the influence of his extensive scientific, political and social network on the dissemination of Francis Bacon's works in France between the Revolution and the Second Restoration. It also looks at what happened to this particular translation - which was encouraged by the Encyclop�distes and then by the Comit� d'Instruction publique - after it was published. As soon as the first volumes of the translation were published, it was fiercely criticised by Swiss geologist Andr� Deluc, who thought it promoted an atheist version of Bacon's philosophy. It was partially republished several times, with or without the name of its translator, before the latter's work was paradoxically rehabilitated shortly before his death in an indictment of Bacon written by the Catholic Joseph de Maistre.
