	Diderot, the Mechanical Arts, and the Encyclopaedie: In Search of the Heritage of Technology Education
		While it may be easy to criticize him in retrospect for the limitations of his descriptive method, his preoccupation with representation, or his views of theory and practice, he did help bring to light both theoretical and practical considerations that would become crucial to disseminating knowledge of the mechanical arts in written and graphic form.
		Diderot's method obscured aspects of the arts or technology that are difficult to articulate, analyze, or draw: technical problems, intuition, design failures, experimentation, and human curiosity and creativity, all of which are critical for invention and innovation.

		The Musée des Arts et Métiers is at the heart of a network of museums and technical cultural centres, and has chosen to make reference in its permanent exhibitions to professions, training, companies, and research laboratories relating to each of the seven main sectors.
