Rameau's Nephew

The interplay between wit and critique in this work feels so deliberate. I wonder what philosophical debates or personal views influenced this structure.

His character is both repulsive and fascinating, which made me question whether Diderot was endorsing his views or merely exposing hypocrisy.

The social and political context seems to shape much of the conversation. I'm curious how much of the work was a reflection of Diderot's own times.
