"In the sixties, it seemed paradoxical to devote a study to Diderot's decisive role in the elaboration and completion of the Encyclopaedia. It was understood that the monumental work was for the author of Jacques the fatalist a food task that distracted him from his true vocation. Jacques Proust, an eminent specialist of the 18th century, vividly demonstrates that the Encyclopedia served as a laboratory for Diderot's literary work, and as a crucible for his political thought, the sources of which are recalled in an unpublished chapter of this republication. Thus we see the portrait of a political Diderot concerned about forming more enlightened citizens".
