Denis Diderot, a central figure of the French Enlightenment, is renowned for his editorship of the Encyclopédie and his materialist philosophy. Born in 1713, Diderot was a philosopher, art critic, and writer whose works challenged established norms and advocated for reason and secularism. His imprisonment for controversial ideas did not deter his intellectual pursuits. Diderot's later years were marked by political advocacy, and his legacy continues to influence contemporary thought.
