Who was he?

Diderot was a French philosopher born in Langres in the 18th century. He was born to a relatively well off family, led by a respected cutler. He was taught by a few institutions and Jesuits, starting education at 13. He received the degree of Master of the Arts in Paris. He then studied law with a fascination for literature, philosophy and advanced math. He began to teach and eventually went off the deep end for a while, working as a writer, selling sermons. He went through a religious crisis, settling philosophical materialism. He married, had one surviving child, who went on to write about his life and protect his work.
