"Diderot and the Encyclopædists (Vol. 2 of 2)" by John Morley is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the philosophical ideas, dialogues, and contributions of Denis Diderot and his contemporaries during the Enlightenment period. The book covers various topics such as morality, romance, and art, presenting Diderot's reflections on the societal norms of his time and the impact of his works. The opening of the text introduces the initial chapter, which discusses "Other Dialogues" by Diderot, beginning with "The Conversations of a Father with his Children." This dialogue explores moral dilemmas involving inheritance and justice, as Diderot’s father contemplates the ethical implications of a discovered will. The conversation then shifts to other moral questions, such as the responsibilities of a physician, leading to a broader discussion about the nature of conscience and societal laws. Through this engaging dialogue, Morley highlights Diderot’s capacity to blend philosophical inquiry with the personal, revealing both the complexity and the humanity of his thoughts.
