Publisher's Synopsis
Le Philosophe Sans Le Scavoir is a play written by Michel Jean Sedaine and first performed on December 2, 1765. The play is a comedy in five acts and in prose. The story revolves around a philosopher named Ariston who is very learned but has no practical knowledge of the world. He is in love with a young woman named Agathe, but she is engaged to another man. Ariston's lack of practical knowledge leads him to make a series of comical mistakes as he tries to win Agathe's heart. The play is a satire on the intellectualism of the time and the idea that knowledge alone is not enough to navigate the complexities of life.
