Denis Diderot was born on the 5 of October of 1713 in Langres France and died on July 31 of 1784 on Paris France.

Denis Diderot went to the University of Paris. His father hoped Denis would pursue a career in law or the Church. He did neither. Instead, he became a writer, covering many subjects.

The main area he influenced was literature due to his writings and ideas that he wrote.

Diderot argued for a reconciliation of reason with feeling so as to establish harmony. According to Diderot, without feeling there is a detrimental effect on virtue, and no possibility of creating sublime work. However, since feeling without discipline can be destructive, reason was necessary to control feeling.

Diderot's most famous achievement was to create the Encyclopedia (published between 1751 and 177), a 28-volume collection of knowledge that he edited, the purpose of the Encyclopedia, according to Diderot, was to "change the general way of thinking."
