Who's your favorite philosopher of the enlightenment? Locke? Voltaire? Rousseau? WRONG.
Diderot is the greatest philosopher of the enlightenment because he was the only one who did shit.
Voltaire was all bark no bite, Locke had his head so far up his optimistic ass that he couldn't have implemented any of his ideas if he tried, and Rousseau was Rousseau.
All of the enlightened philosophers believed in and advocated for equal education yet Diderot was the only person to actually provide it.
With his Encyclopedia he managed to distribute knowledge regardless of social class. It started out only for the rich but with modified versions, thinner paper and less pictures, he was able to make it cheaper and available to all. It became a household item that could teach people anything they needed to know.
Was it free schooling? No. But, as a commoner, it was both the most he could do and the biggest step towards indiscrimant education that any philosopher had ever taken.
Diderot is THE best philosopher of the enlightenment, period.
