Diderot was born in 1713, the son of a master cutler. Although tonsured in 1726, he did not enter the church, and he later became an atheist and embraced rationalism. In 1732 Diderot was awarded a master of arts degree from the University of Paris. He held various jobs before beginning work on the Encyclopédie.
