| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In Diderot's Elements de physiologie, we showed for the first time that influences given by Haller, physiologist, especially by the second French tradition (1769) of the Primae lineae are decisive. We discovered moreover some unknown sources of the Elements, for example, a Swiss physiologist, Laroche's work. Concerning Diderot's conception of generation, an epigenetic interpretation is dominent, but we proved that in his Elements he approaches rather to the preexistence of germs admitting epigenetic changeabilities, in other words, to that of Haller. In the conclusion of the Elements, we admit with G. Stenger a 17th century Netherlandish humanist, Heinsius' influences, whose small dissertation Oratio de Stoica Philosophia, which we newly discovered, was found to have the possibility to unite Diderot's two main works: the Elements and the Essai sur Seneque and to open a new direction of research in order to interpret synthetically his philosophy in his last years.
