El universo de la novela de Denis Diderot

Abstract

This article explores four novels or antinovels written by Denis Diderot —La Religieuse, Les Bijoux indiscrets, Le neveu de Rameau and Jacques le fataliste— which enable the knowledge of some aspects of the philosopher’s worldview as well as his particular conception about this genre. The acceptance or rejection of this part of his production during his time is revised, as well as the reasons of the censorship to condemn it.
