NotesLe Neveu de Rameau ou La Satire seconde (English: Rameau's Nephew, or the Second Satire, or alternatively The Nephew of Rameau) is an imaginary philosophical conversation by Denis Diderot, written predominantly in 1761-2 and revised in 1773-4. It was first published in 1805 in German translation by Goethe, but the French manuscript used had subsequently disappeared. The German version was translated back into French by de Saur and Saint-Geniès and published in 1821. The first published version based on French manuscript appeared in 1823 in the Brière edition of Diderot's works.
