"a dramatic essay by Denis Diderot elucidating a theory of acting in which it is argued that great actors do not experience the emotions they are displaying.consists of a dialogue between two speakers in which the first speaker espouses the views of Diderot on acting that the great actor is characterized by a complete absence of any feeling; and that the art of the great actor consists of displaying the illusion of feeling.

‎DIDEROT Denis.‎

‎Portrait by Ernst Hader pinxit photographed by Sophus Williams.‎

‎Berlin Phot.u. Verlag Sophus Williams 1879. Original photograph carte de visite albumen print 107 x 68 cm with his in reproduction printed signature. Denis Diderot October 5 1713 - July 31 1784 was a French philosopher art critic and writer. He was a prominent figure during the Enlightenment and is best-known for serving as co-founder and chief editor of and contributor to the Encyclop�die. - Diderot also contributed to literature notably with Jacques le fataliste et son ma�tre Jacques the Fatalist and his Master which emulated Laurence Sterne in challenging conventions regarding novels and their structure and content while also examining philosophical ideas about free will. Diderot is also known as the author of the dialogue Le Neveu de Rameau Rameau's Nephew upon which many articles and sermons about consumer desire have been based. His articles included many topics of the Enlightenment. Denis Diderot was born in the eastern French city of Langres and commenced his formal education in the Lyc�e Louis le Grand. In 1732 he earned a master of arts degree in philosophy. He abandoned the idea of entering the clergy and decided instead to study law. His study of law was short-lived; in 1734 Diderot decided instead to become a writer. Because of his refusal to enter one of the learned professions he was disowned by his father and for the next ten years he lived a rather bohemian existence. In 1742 he befriended Rousseau. Then in 1743 he further alienated his father by marrying Antoinette Champion a devout Roman Catholic. The match was considered inappropriate due to Champion's low social status poor education fatherless status lack of a dowry and�at thirty-two�being four years his senior. The marriage produced one surviving child a girl. Her name was Ang�lique after both Diderot's dead mother and sister. The death of his sister a nun from overwork in the convent may have affected Diderot's opinion of religion. She is assumed to have been the inspiration for his novel about a nun La Religieuse in which he depicts a woman who is forced to enter a monastery and suffers at the hands of the other nuns in the community. - He had affairs with the writer Madame Puisieux and with Sophie Volland. His letters to Sophie Volland contain some of the most vivid of all the insights that we have of the daily life of the philosophic circle of Paris during this time period. Though his work was broad and rigorous it did not bring him riches. He secured none of the posts that were occasionally given to needy men of letters; he could not even obtain the bare official recognition of merit which was implied by being chosen a member of the Acad�mie fran�aise. When the time came for him to provide a dowry for his daughter he saw no alternative than to sell his library. When Catherine II of Russia heard of his financial troubles she commissioned an agent in Paris to buy the library. She then requested that the philosopher retain the books in Paris until she required them and act as her librarian with a yearly salary. In 1773 and 1774 Diderot spent some months at the empress's court in Saint Petersburg. - Diderot died of gastro-intestinal problems in Paris on July 31 1784 and was buried in the city's �glise Saint-Roch. His heirs sent his vast library to Catherine II who had it deposited at the National Library of Russia. Wikipedia. KEYWORDS:france/photo unknown‎
