Diderot?s dynamic nature told him that things do not just change; things change for the better. This novelist, art critic and editor of the most famous product of the Enlightenment, [The Great Encyclopedia]?, saw nature as a totality of creative changes. Each of these changes reverberates through all of nature to maintain a constant newness. This view agreed with Diderot?s idea of progress that concurred with Helvetius? elimination of errors, but proposed that we should also expand and create new institutions. Diderot?s psychology differed slightly from Locke?s as he saw the mind as active, forming general ideas then using those ideas to create more knowledge and ideas. |
