In giving this short philosophical work a rating I am faced with a dilemma: I found it very interesting, and agreed with most of the principles guiding it, but cannot adhere to all of the conclusions reached — even if Diderot keeps well away from forming an absolute conclusion.
The depiction of the liberal lifestyle of the Tahitian people is pleasantly open-minded, denouncing the unnatural rules of European society at the time, but comes to reduce mankind's existence to its biological functions. Man's search for transcendence and creation of symbols is labelled as superfluous — love is reduced to a lust only legitimate when driven by the urge to reproduce. Diderot's recipe for liberty ends up seeming more restrictive and reductive than civilisation, which he so boldly blames.

The issue of morality is one of Diderot's major themes. From morality Diderot moves to other themes of ownership and private property, specifically through marriage. Both societies seem extremely foreign to one another and think that each are better, but in reality they are just different. Because of his study of nature and the advancements in life sciences, Denis Diderot came to the conclusion that universal progress depends largely on Eros. His involvement in Enlightenment movements such as sensualism , vitalism and materialism also helped him developed his ideas about human sexuality.
In the book, Diderot uses a dialogue between Orou, a Tahitian man, and a chaplain in order to contrast the French and Tahitian societies. In Tahiti, women are not considered property of any man and are not ridiculed for having a child before marriage.
Once married, family life for women was very constraining. French women did not have much freedom to pursue jobs outside of the home and was considered the property of their husband. In this way, Claudia Moscovici argues that Diderot believed that marriage controlled human sexuality because women and men were bound to one another, prohibiting them from having children with others. Rex argues that Diderot contradicts himself when he writes a letter to Angelique, his daughter, on her wedding day.
