Abstract

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.
