Jean Le Rond d'Alembert

1717–1783

Jean Le Rond d'Alembert (1717–1783) was a French mathematician, physicist, and philosopher, best known as a co-editor of the Encyclopédie with Denis Diderot. He was a leading figure of the Enlightenment, championing reason, empiricism, and the application of scientific method to all fields of knowledge. His work in mechanics, particularly d'Alembert's principle, and his philosophical writings on the nature of knowledge and probability left a lasting impact on both science and philosophy.
