Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Denis Diderot (1713-1784) is central to the French Enlightenment. As co-editor of the famous encyclopedia and as author of novels such as JACQUES THE FATALIST AND HIS MASTER (an inspiration to Hegel) or RAMEAU’S NEPHEW (first translated by Goethe) he is still known today. His philosophical writings are no less exciting and imaginative than his literary experiments. In order to be able to better approach his peculiar naturalism and Diderot's critique of religion, we will also read texts by Condillac, Rousseau, D'Alembert and La Mettrie.
