Denis Diderot's most notable contribution to Enlightenment philosophy was undoubtedly the Encyclopedia.1 Devoting more than twenty years of his life to this work—beginning in 1748 when he signed the contract with its publishers for what was initially intended as a translation of Ephraim Chambers's Cyclopaedia (1728) and ending with the publication of the seventeenth and final volume in 1772—Diderot's enormous project brought together seventy-four thousand articles written by more than 130 collaborators and soon became a leading reference work for Enlightenment era scientists and philosophers, competing with both the Royal Academy and the Jesuit's dictionaries.2
