This issue of Lo Sguardo aims to investigate the figure of Denis Diderot in its many aspects. Diderot was, in fact, a philosopher, but also an art critic, novelist, playwright, and scientist. His role as a cultural promoter was also vital in the great project of the Encyclopédie. How do these different elements interact and contribute to the emergence of his philosophical thought? And what aspects of Diderot’s philosophy remain relevant to contemporary times? These are some of the questions the issue seeks to answer.
