Original: While many contributors to the EncyclopÃ die had no interest in radically reforming French society, the EncyclopÃ die as a whole pointed that way.
Simplified: Still, the EncyclopÃ die is famous above all for representing the thought of the Enlightenment. According to Denis Diderot in the article "EncyclopÃ die", the EncyclopÃ dies aim was "to change the way people think."
