DICTIONARY OF RECEIVED IDEAS
The Dictionary of Received Ideas is a short satirical work collected and published from notes
compiled by Gustave Flaubert during the 1870s, lampooning the clichés endemic to French
society under the Second French Empire. It takes the form of a dictionary of automatic thoughts
and platitudes, self-contradictory and insipid.
With this work it is intended to denote the contrast between the received ideas and The Modern
World, through colors and contrasts. This work was also done in issues, to have the industrial look,
that exists now a days.
