About Antoine Lilti
His work focuses on the social, cultural, and intellectual history of the Enlightenment and its legacy. In his early career, he studied the social practices of the aristocratic and literate elites; later, he set out to demonstrate the emergence, in the 18th century, of a new form of recognition, celebrity, linked to transformations in public space and individual identities. Currently, Antoine Lilti is researching the relationships between the Enlightenment and modern discourses of universalism.
His books include The World of the Salons (Oxford University Press, 2015), The Invention of Celebrity (Polity, 2017), The Legacy of the Enlightenment. Ambivalences of Modernity (University of Chicago Press, 2026) and L’Illusion d’un monde commun: Tahiti et la découverte de l’Europe (Flammarion, 2025).
