Published in Paris in 1738, this treatise on etiquette outlines a social philosophy in which kindness and good taste, knowing how to listen and pay attention to others, are the foundations of respectful and pleasant sociability, a serene and balanced conviviality, which, beyond the courtly civilization it reflects, serves as a contrast and model for our current societies, where courtesy seems to have other roots, other forms and another purpose.
