Denis Diderot Ilustrator Sculpture

Denis Diderot was a decisive figure of the Enlightenment as a French writer, philosopher and encyclopedist. For Denis Diderot, the natural sciences would not be distinguished by seeking a why, but by finding solutions by responding to the how. Diderot dedicated himself to the most different fields of science; His interests covered areas of chemistry, physics, mathematics, as well as, and above all, natural history, anatomy and medicine. For all these reasons, Diderot was part of the intellectual spirit of the eighteenth century, keeping abreast of and actively participating in the main discussions and theory formation of his time. Renowned for his works, he was elected a member of the French Academy. He did not get rich with his books, proof of this is that he had to sell his library in order to offer a dowry to his daughter Angelique. It was Catherine II of Russia, an active writer of letters to Madame Geoffrin, who ordered the purchase of the library when she learned of Diderot's financial hardships thanks to the fact that they had a mutual friend: Grimm.
