Voltaire : a sketch of his life and works: The Life and Influence of Voltaire: A Journey Through Enlightenment - Couverture souple
Synopsis
"Voltaire: A Sketch of His Life and Works" by G.W. Foote and J.M. Wheeler provides an insightful exploration of the life and contributions of Voltaire, a pivotal figure of the Enlightenment. The text delves into Voltaire's early life, highlighting his education at a Jesuit college and his early literary shifts, which were initially met with skepticism by his father. Voltaire's journey to England marked a significant turning point, exposing him to English deism and the works of Locke and Newton, which profoundly influenced his philosophical outlook. His time in England also introduced him to the freedom of expression and the intellectual rigor that would shape his later works. Upon returning to France, Voltaire's writings, including his "Letters on the English Nation," faced censorship and persecution, reflecting the tension between his progressive ideas and the conservative French establishment. His relationship with the Marquise du Chatelet at Cirey provided a sanctuary for intellectual growth and the production of significant works, such as "Elements of the Newtonian Philosophy" and "Essay on the Manners and Spirit of Nations." Voltaire's interactions with Frederick the Great of Prussia illustrate his complex relationship with power and authority, ultimately leading to a strained friendship. His satirical masterpiece "Candide" epitomizes his critique of optimism and highlights his advocacy for reason and humanitarianism. Despite his criticisms of organized religion and the state, Voltaire remained a deist, emphasizing the importance of reason and empirical evidence. The text underscores Voltaire's enduring legacy as a champion of free thought, tolerance, and intellectual inquiry, whose works continue to inspire and challenge readers to question established norms and seek truth.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -INTRODUCTION M¿ share in this book on Voltaire is a very minor one. My old friend and colleague, Mr. J. M. Wheeler, had written the greater part of the following pages before he brought the enterprise to my attention. I went through his copy with him, and assisted him in making some alterations and additions. I also read the printer¿s proofs, and suggested some further improvements¿if I may call them so without egotism. this is all I have done. the credit for all the rest belongs to him. My name is placed on the title-page for two reasons. the first is, that I may now, as on other occasions, be associated with a dear friend and colleague in this tribute to Voltaire. ¿e second is, that whatever influence I possess may be used in helping this volume to the circulation it deserves.
