Synopsis
Excerpt from Mélanges de Littérature, d'Histoire, Et de Philosophie, Vol. 4
Une Société de Gens de Lettres a eflayé de faire pour notre fiecle pour les fuivans ce que nous reprochons avec raifon à nos ancêtres de n'avoir pas fait pour nous. Le plan de l'ency' clopédie a été formé dans cette vue; Nous avons tâché de faire fentir ail leurs (c) les fecours que nos contempo rains nos defcendans en pourront tirer quand ce ne feroit_que pour en faire une meilleure. Ce que le Public a déjà vu deicet Ouvrage fait defirer qu'il ne foit ni 'opprimé par fes ennemis ni abandonné ou dégradé par fes Auteurs. Mais foit que nos contemporains aient l'avantage d'achever heureufementame fi grande entreprife ou que l'honneur en foit réfervé à la génération fuivante 'à des terms plus favorables il fera permis au moins de mettre fous les yeux des Gens de Lettres les projets qui peu vent tendre à l'améliorer. Dans la mul titude des vérités que l'encyc10pédie embrafle qu'en vain on chercheroit.

About the Author
Initialement destine a la pretrise, Denis Diderot fait ses etudes chez les jesuites. Il redige ses "Pensees philosophiques" en 1746, ou il demontre deja son caractere athee. Ami de Rousseau et d'Alembert, il accepte de se charger avec ce dernier de l'elaboration de "L' Encyclopedie" en 1747. Ce travail occupera vingt ans de sa vie, mais ne l'empechera pas d'ecrire ses propres reflexions. La publication en 1749 de sa "Lettre aux aveugles", lui vaudra d'etre condamne par l'Eglise et emprisonne a Vincennes durant trois mois. Tour a tour critique d'art, romancier, auteur de theatre, defenseur de la raison critique, Diderot s'affirme comme le chef de file des Lumieres francaises.
