Diderot's Encyclopedia

Diderot’s Encyclopedia, published in the 18th century, was a comprehensive collection of knowledge, aiming to compile and organize information across all fields—science, philosophy, arts, and technology. Edited by Denis Diderot and others, it sought to promote rational thought and challenge traditional ideas, encouraging free inquiry and education. By making knowledge accessible and emphasizing reason, the Encyclopedia played a key role in spreading Enlightenment ideas and fostering intellectual progress during its time.
