Abstract

The following text aims at examining the concept of Nature in Diderot in order to show how this concept was redefined in some passages of his work, achieving its climax in D’Alembert’s Dream. For this purpose, besides Diderot’s own texts, we have resorted to the writings of his fellow thinkers, Buffon and d’Alembert.
