On Diderot's account, sensation is like energy. Energy can exist in a potential state, as when an object is at rest, or, in a kinetic state, as when an object is actually set in motion. Similarly, in Diderot's view, sensation can exist in a potential state (as in nonliving substances) or in an actual state (as in sentient beings.) An example Diderot offers is of marble, which, he claims, if ground up and added to soil, can be converted into nutrients by plants, which may in turn be consumed by humans, and thus made part of a sentient body, thereby actualizing the original marble's potential for sensation. He also offers the example of the molecules that come to make up the sex cells of d'Alembert's mother and father, which then come to form part of d'Alembert's body. Diderot takes the opportunity of this last example to ridicule the notion of pre-existent germs (the notion that the sex cells contain all future generations nested within one another,) advocating instead for epigenesis.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0642\/1590\/8412\/files\/Screen_Shot_2026-03-25_at_10.27.16_PM.png?v=1774495658\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiderot, propelled by questions from d'Alembert, goes on to explain his materialist conception of thought and memory. He likens the human organs to musical instruments, whose fibers are like sympathetic strings that vibrate in response to one another. A thought causes the vibration of certain fibers, and the vibration of those fibers can cause the vibration of other fibers. This is Diderot's explanation of the association of ideas. Memory is explained by a comparison to a string which continues to vibrate even after other strings have stopped vibrating. Thus both sensation and thought are explained without reference to intervention by any immaterial force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dialogue ends as the two friends reach d'Alembert's apartment and bid each other goodnight. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDIDEROT: \u003cstrong\u003eLook at this egg: with it you can overthrow all the schools of theology and all the churches in the world.\u003c\/strong\u003e What is this egg?

Elective Affinities by Rene Magritte captured rationale behind free will. the essence of this theory, which explained the Although we may feel free, there are instances always or forces that we cannot control. Hence, human beings may feel as though they are caged because of their inability to take full control of the circumstances that occur in their life.
