• Resumen

  • It is hardly surprising that in the last ten years the Rêve de d'Alembert has attracted critical attention and growing popular success. The reason is that this work, although difficult, best reveals Diderot's creative process. By his writing, he shows clearly that everything is in a state of perpetual transformation. Ideas and beings, mutually intertwined, form a sort of living tissue which mirrors the evolution of life. This movement widens as ideas are gradually enriched and modified by being repeatedly reformulated. The work itself, which neither begins nor ends clearly, shows once and for all that the process of creation cannot be restricted, that it exists both before and after, and that the work is only a part of it.
