Diderot

Diderot, with help from Jean le Rond d'Alembert, helped wirte the encyclopedias. During these times people would go to salons to read the encyclopedia and talk about ideals during the Enlightenment. Diderot was also a great thinker who discussed every topic from music to science. He and d'Alembert wrote the Encyclopedia based on human knowledge and the philosophes of French thinkers. The encylopedia basically wrapped up the Enlightenment into a book.
