He was a co-editor of Encyclopédie together with Diderot. His views about reality were rational. Being a mathematician he strongly defended the view of mathematics as an ideal form of knowledge and considered physics as a base science. (*) The modern view of mathematics as an ideal form of software and physics as a knowledge base of hardware makes Jean le Rond d’Alembert (1717 - 1783) stand as one of the early software scientists and philosophers.
