By Christine Goémé and Judith d'Astier. Broadcast on 24.10.2004. Christine Goémé offers a portrait of Denis Diderot in what his face reveals of boldness, enthusiasm, vivacity and youth. The broadcast is composed of a succession of interviews with academics specializing in Diderot, readings of texts and music by Rameau. Before being a writer, philosopher or encyclopedist, Denis Diderot is first and foremost a creative energy, a curiosity about the world, a passion for the diversity of life. This is why we start - in this broadcast - with the portraits of Diderot by Picasso. A lively Diderot, captured by the painter in the work of thought, pen in hand. It is with one of the most beautiful French languages that Diderot explores all fields of human activity - from the arts to the sciences. This program will set aside what anyone can find in a dictionary - but will instead focus on the inventor of words, of hypothesis devices. On a Diderot at work, patient, meticulous and flamboyant. Speakers: Marie Leca-Tsiomis, Jean-Claude Bonnet, Michel Delon, Colas Duflo, Pierre Frantz, academics, Diderot specialists. Texts read by Philippe Laudenbach and Alexandre Markoff.
