Diderots greatness is far beyond his Encylopidie for which he wrote 7000 entries.Many works were marvels discovered after his death,as criticism of Royalty, the Church , & slavery had dire consequences.He lived from 1713-1784.He was a man ahead of his time, wanting to carve an intellectual craft without submitting to enforcement of church & state.He was incarcerated for his views.He was a well known critic of theater & visual arts.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
