Diderot's Early Philosophical Works

By: Margaret Jourdain, Editor

Denis Diderot was a French philosopher and writer in the mid eighteenth century. His writings were among the most influential in renaissance Europe. In this book are examined two very critical essays from that era; "Letter on the Blind" and "Letter on the Deaf and Dumb." He examines how a person's understanding of the world around him is shaped by his five senses.
