La Religiosa

Por Denis Diderot

La Religiosa es una excelente obra de el autor de la Enciclopedia, expresionista e introspectiva. En la misma, Denis Diderot hace una crítica rotunda de la coercitividad de las instituciones religiosas: el mundo cerrado de los conventos degenera en inutilidad social, resentimiento y promiscuidad, aspectos que convierten a los “reclusos” en delirantes místicos, más allegados a la Tenebrosa e Infernal Locura que a la Clarividencia de la Luz Divina.

Denis Diderot

Denis Diderot (1713-1784) was a French philosopher, art critic, and writer of erotic fiction. Born into wealth, he studied philosophy at a Jesuit college before attempting to enter the clergy. In 1734, tiring of religion, he declared his wish to become a professional writer, and was disowned by his father. From this point onward, he lived as a bohemian in Paris, writing anonymous works of erotica, including The Talking Jewels (1748). In 1751, he cofounded the Encyclopédie, a controversial resource on the sciences that drew condemnation from the church and the French government. Despite his relative obscurity and lack of financial success, he was later recognized as a foundational figure in the radicalization of French society prior to the Revolution.
