More From Denis Diderot

Literature cannot develop between the categories "permitted"—"not permitted"—"this you can and that you can't." literature that is not the air of its contemporary society, that dares not warn in time against threatening moral and social dangers, such literature does not deserve the name of literature; it is only a facade. such literature loses the confidence of its own people, and its published works are used as waste paper instead of being read. -letter to the fourth national congress of soviet writers

It is a thoughtless and immodest presumption to learn anything about art from philosophy. some do begin as if they hoped to learnsomething new here, since philosophy cannot and should not do anything further than develop the given art experiences and the existing art concepts into a science, improve the views of art, and promote them with the help of a thoroughly scholarly art history, and produce that logical mood about these subjects too which unites absolute liberalism with absolute rigor.

Philosophy Years Age
My position is a naturalistic one; i see philosophy not as an a priori propaedeutic or groundwork for science, but as continuous with science. i see philosophy and science as in the same boat--a boat which, to revert to neurath's figure as i so often do, we can rebuild only at sea while staying afloat in it. there is no external vantage point, no first philosophy.

Gradually, ... the aspect of science as knowledge is being thrust into the background by the aspect of science as the power of manipulating nature. it is because science gives us the power of manipulating nature that it has more social importance than art. science as the pursuit of truth is the equal, but not the superior, of art. science as a technique, though it may have little intrinsic value, has a practical importance to which art cannot aspire.
