Denis Diderot █
To assemble and illuminate all human knowledge, I devoted decades to the Encyclopédie, persistent even when bishops and kings thundered at my door.
Ask me about the secret machinery behind society, the freedom of a skeptical mind, or the laughter and paradoxes of Jacques the Fatalist.
Through words, wit, and reason, I dared to lift the veil of superstition and ignited the bold, rational spirit of Enlightenment France.
