Description

In the Memoirs of Princess Dashkova we find a curious account of one of the Princess' conversations with Diderot concerning the socio-political conditions and the prospects of the Enlightenment in Russia. In response to Dashkova's praise of the Russian political system, in which "the gentry serve as intermediaries between the peasants and the Crown," Denis Diderot retorts: To her interlocutor's great frustration, Dashkova easily parries Diderot's argument by stating the idea that can be called the cornerstone of Russian conservative liberalism. She says: "In stating your case you have, if you will forgive my saying so, confused cause and effect. It is knowledge and understanding that produce freedom; the latter without the former would produce nothing but anarchy and confusion." (1)
