About this audiobook
Featuring some of the most brilliant and notable sayings from a man living on the cusp of a revolutionising world, ‘100 Quotes by Denis Diderot’ uncovers one of the most influential – yet almost forgotten – figures of the Age of Enlightenment. French writer, philosopher, and art critic Diderot is most famous for being the co-creator and editor of the ‘Encyclopédie’, which featured many contributors and is now regarded as one of the precursors of the French Revolution. This impressive collection captures his best musings and thoughts, ideal for those looking to explore one of the greatest thinkers of the age.Denis Diderot (1713-1784) was a French writer, philosopher, art critic, and co-founder and editor of the ‘Encyclopédie’. Having been passed over by the Académie Française and received little recognition for his work, it wasn’t until Empress Catherine the Great appointed Diderot as her librarian in 1766 that his reputation – and finances - improved. He remains today one of the most prominent figures during the Age of the Enlightenment, and a strong influence on the beginnings of the French Revolution.

Escriptor i filòsof, va estudiar a la Universitat de París i, amb D'Alembert, va dirigir entre el 1751 i el 1772 la redacció de l'Encyclopédie, una de les obres més grandioses i influents de la Il·lustració. Autor de Pensaments filosòfics (1746) o Carta sobre els cecs per a ús dels que hi veuen (1749), entre moltes altres obres, va publicar també la novel·la La monja (1760) i els diàlegs El nebot de Rameau (1761) i El somni de D'Alembert (1769).
