Denis Diderot Accomplishments

Denis Diderot was born in Langres, France on October 5, 1713. In his life he was a philosopher, a writer, and art critic. His primary accomplishment is major contributions to the Encyclopedia. He also has published a decent amount of books. Some of Diderot's major accomplishments include: The Encyclopedia, Rameau's Nephew, Skeptics Walk, Letter of the Blind, Jacques the Fatalist, The Illegitimate Son, The Father of the Fatalist, Plan of a University for the Government of Russia, Essay on the Life of Senacca, and On the Mind.

During this time he also wrote (Catherine the Great requested him to) Plan of a University for the Government of Russia. Now, I haven't necessarily found a page on it but from my understanding it was kind of like a guideline of some sort for a certain part of the government
