狄德罗把世界设想为一个大系统，认为其中存在的只有时间、空间与物质；物质本身具有活力，能够自行运动，不需要它以外的神秘力量参与；运动是物质的一种属性，物质与运动不可分割的联系造成绚丽多彩的大千世界，这个世界是统一的，统一于物质；由于物质不断运动，永远处于变化的过程中，所以新鲜的事物层出不穷；所有的事物都相互联系，联系与统一具有内在的逻辑上的蕴涵关系。在狄德罗的自然观中，含有转化的观念。他肯定自然事物可以相互转化，转化还涉及事物质的变化。但狄德罗的自然观仍然存在形而上学倾向。他把一切变化都归结为“纯粹数量增长”，把自然中的因素看做是一成不变的，认为由元素组合的事物，通过嬗变而彼此交替，只能形成循环的局面。

About Rousseau
关于卢梭
Jean－Jacques Rousseau was a major Genevan philosopher， writer， and composer of 18th－century Romanticism。 His political philosophy heavily influenced the French Revolution， as well as the American Revolution and the overall development of modern political， sociological and educational thought。
His novel， émile： or， On Education is a seminal treatise on the education of the whole person for citizenship。 His sentimental novel， Julie， ou la nouvelle Hélo·se， was of great importance to the development of pre－romanticism and romanticism in fiction。 Rousseau’s autobiographical writings： his Confessions， which initiated the modern autobiography， and his Reveries of a Solitary Walker were among the pre－eminent examples of the late 18th－century movement known as the Age of Sensibility， featuring an increasing focus on subjectivity and introspection that has characterized the modern age。 His Discourse on the Origin of Inequality and his On the Social Contract are cornerstones in modern political and social thought and make a strong case for democratic government and social empowerment。
Rousseau also made important contributions to music as a theorist。 During the period of the French Revolution， Rousseau was the most popular of the philosophers among members of the Jacobin Club。 He was interred as a national hero in the Panthéon in Paris， in 1794， 16 years after his death。
在哲学上，卢梭主张感觉是认识的来源，坚持“自然神论”的观点；强调人性本善，信仰高于理性。在社会观上，卢梭坚持社会契约论，主张建立资产阶级的“理性王国”；主张自由平等，反对大私有制及其压迫；提出“天赋人权说”，反对专制、暴政。在教育上，他主张教育目的是培养自然人；反对封建教育戕害、轻视儿童，要求提高儿童在教育中的地位；主张改革教育内容和方法，顺应儿童的本性，让他们的身心自由发展，反映了资产阶级和广大劳动人民从封建专制主义下解放出来的要求。
