Didro. Voltaire. Philosophers of the Enlightenment

Didro. In the person of Denis Didro, the awakening of French and social thought occurred in the broad meaning of the word, that is, not the thoughts of a separate circle, but of all an educated society. Empress Catherine II corresponded with the Didro, the son of a Langra knife, who is free, familiar with the rulers of the world. The philosopher and encyclopedist was hidden by a social force, not the rule of rulers belonged to him. Voltaire. The son of a merchant of cloths, Francois-Marie Arue, the future Voltaire, received a solid education. Since childhood, he was talked about as a “miniature free -thought”, later he preferred not the work of his father, but literature. And not in vain - his incomparable syllable, a clear presentation and inexhaustible wit, made to transparency, made every object that he touched, accessible and attractive to the whole mass of people, from kings to artisans, from Versailles courtes to Russian landowners.
