In order to explain the concept of "imitation of nature", we must inquire into the significance of nature, imitation and genre as the result of imitation. "Nature", on which Diderot founded his theory, had in itself an ambiguous duplication of meaning : that is, the principle and the matter of fact. The rigorous copy of nature, which Diderot's theory had necessarily required at first, soon changed into a more loosened one and he recognized the subjective vision as another reality which was proper to fine arts. Now we will pursue after his fundamental attitude which can be found in his several treatises ; e. g. De l'interpritation de la nature, Traite du beau, Essai sur la peinture, Pensees detachees. and Paradoxe sur le comedien, etc.
