# Supplément au Voyage de Bougainville

By Denis Diderot.

"Supplément au Voyage de Bougainville" by Denis Diderot is a philosophical tale written in 1772. Through a dialogue between two characters discussing Bougainville's recently published voyage account, Diderot presents a fictional supplement that challenges European moral assumptions. The work features a Tahitian elder's powerful farewell speech condemning European colonizers and a provocative conversation between a chaplain and his indigenous host about conflicting moral codes. This philosophical meditation questions whether universal moral principles exist or if morality is culturally constructed. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
