van den Berg, Jan
- Abstract
The article discusses whether Denis Diderot, a prominent figure of the French Enlightenment, should be credited with the quote "a deist is someone who has not lived long enough to become an atheist" as noted in the book "Oxford Dictionary of Philosophy" by Simon Blackburn. Citing the French language form of the quote, the author states that is attributed to French politician Louis Gabriel Ambroise.
