The Age of Enlightenment has formerly been defined as hostile to the values of ancestry and genealogy. However, the transdisciplinary approach adopted by this book allows us to consider genealogy as a long lasting social practice and a form of reasoning, a language and a tool expressing social relations and establishing hierarchies throughout the 18th century.
