Denis Diderot
Denis Diderot is the French philosopher, art critic and writer, best known for being a co-founder, editor-in-chief and contributor to the Encyclopedia with Jean le Rond d ' Alembert. He was a prominent figure in the Enlightenment period. Diderot first studied philosophy at a Jesuit college, then considered working in the church hierarchy before briefly studying law. When he decided to become a writer in 1734, his father rejected him. He lived a bohemian life for the next decade. During the 1740s he wrote many of his most famous works in novels and non-fiction, including the 1748 novel Les Bijoux Indiscrets. In 1751, Diderot co-created the Encyclopédie with Jean le Rond d'Alembert. It is the first encyclopedia to include contributions from many notable contributors and is the first to describe the art of mechanics.
