When a benefactor replaces Diderot's humble furnishings with finer ones, the philosopher reflects ironically on what has been lost. Through the story of his old dressing gown, Diderot explores the compromises aging intellectuals make when faced with prosperity, warning his friends to guard against wealth's seductions and preserve their independence.
