Diderot in the 21st Century

Diderot was greatly interested in the morals and ethics of human. He believed that everything, politics, government, and other affairs, must be based off of one's moral. A good government, he said, must be one that focuses more on the benefit of all, not the few individuals that control. Following his ideas, if he had seen the modern day, he would be deeply involved in resolving the corruption of politics nowadays. Diderot also declared that everyone must be have a chance to be educated, so the mandatory education system would appeal to him as well. He would work for the rights and profits of the poor and in need, and for the enhancement of their lives. Major issues that would have caught his attention would be the religious clashes all over the world. Diderot himself was an atheist, and also highly skeptical of religion. He did not think that religion was essential in achieving virtue, and that forcing a specific religion on an individual was wrong, also inefficient because one had his own beliefs that derived from his education, tradition, and customs that he lived in. Thus, the idea of religions fighting against each other and pushing their thoughts on another would have provoked him intensely.
