Pablo Scotto Benito
The present paper aims to connect Diderot‘s conception of human being with his political ideas. Although we can‘t find in the philosopher‘s work a systematic treatise in which the study of human nature is used to support a certain political system, Diderot‘s empiricist epistemology and materialistic monism, with the consequential revalorization of body‘s passions, lead on to a moral and political thought in accordance with human nature, based on the idea of “universalism” and focused on individuals‘ happiness.
