Philosophers played a very significant role in french revolution.
Phliosophers like Voltaire, Montesquieu andRousseau through his writing, preaching and orating gave a much needed push to the people.
Voltaire

He held the attention of educated French as no one had, by his prolific writing.
As critic, poet, scholar, writer, lampoonist he highlighted in his theme the prevailing injustices. For which he became famous all over Europe.
He ridiculed many institutions, not sparing even the Monarchy, but his vitriolic attack was on CHURCH for itscorruption and pretensions.
Montesquieu

He was an eminent lawyer and political scientist,so he could observe the maladies affecting the French society and political system.
He thought highly of its separation of powers which resulted in protection ofFundamental rights of people.
He envisaged a government working byChecks and balance system.
His writings also influenced the founding fathers of the American constitution.
Jean Jacques Rousseau

Rousseau's contribution to the outbreak of French revolution was direct and positive.
He was highly emotional by temperament, and injustice and cruelty stirred him deeply.
He also began a book with a stirring slogan, “Man is born free,but is everywhere in chains”
His writings evoked necessary passion and zeal, and prepared them for a revolution.
He wanted to establish Direct democracy, where people can express their free will without any restrictions.
So, it is clear that their role was really very crucial in French revolution. But it was not like that they are the sole reason for outbreak of French revolution.
Due to the circumstances prevailing that time the revolution was inevitable. Philosophers only swifted that process.
So, role of philosophers was mainly of a “Catalyst” to accelerate the rate of reaction.
