45. Voltaire's Bastards By John Ralston Saul - A Book Review By Scott London
    Scott London's review of the book.  
    http://www.scottlondon.com/reviews/saul.html
    
    Extractions: The Free Press, 1992, 640 pages This jeremiad on the evils of contemporary rationalism seems to have touched a nerve. It's been a steady bestseller in several countries and has reportedly been read by such people as the Canadian prime minister and the Czech premier. It's also elevated John Ralston Saul to celebrity status in Canada and elsewhere. He made the Utne Reader's list of "100 Visionaries" in 1995 and was even asked to give the prestigious Massey Lectures for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation that same year. But don't be fooled. Despite all the hoopla, Voltaire's Bastards is anything but a delight to read. Neither the argument nor the historical facts Saul brings to bear on it stand out as especially noteworthy, and the narrative just keeps going on and on and on. After the first 140 pages in which Saul "establishes his argument," he goes on arguing and arguing for another 400-some pages about how rationalism has run amok in almost every sphere of modern society. His survey of "Scenes From a System that Doesn't Work" looks at everything from the international arms trade and "the obsession of our military with management systems" to the rise of corporatism in politics and the breakdown of public discourse into fixed ideological debates among experts. Saul also devotes several chapters to our yearning for heroes and our over-sentimentalization of leaders as well the sleight-of-hand methodology of modern economists.

46. Voltaire By Thomas S. Vernon

    http://www.positiveatheism.org/hist/voltvern.htm
    
    Extractions: Victor Hugo When news of the tragedy reached Voltaire he wrote to a friend as follows: One would have great difficulty in divining how the laws of movement operate such frightful disasters in the best of all possible worlds.... What will the preachers say, especially if the palace of the Inquisition has been left standing? I flatter myself that the reverend father inquisitors will have been crushed like the others. That should teach men not to persecute men. Shortly after the letter just quoted, Voltaire composed the lengthy In this he passionately exclaims: What! Would the entire universe have been worse without this hellish abyss, without swallowing up Lisbon? Are you sure that the eternal cause that makes all, knows all, created all, could not plunge us into this wretched world without placing flaming volcanoes beneath our feet? Would you forbid it to show mercy?

52. French Deism [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy]
    Brief historical survey of the development of Deism in France, as espoused by voltaire, Diderot, and Rousseau.  
    http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/d/deismfre.htm
    
    Extractions: French Deism With other English influences Deism entered France, where, however, only its materialistic and revolutionary phases were seized upon, to the exclusion of that religiosity which had never been lost in England. French Deism stood outside of theology. The English writers who came to exercise the greatest influence were Hobbes, Locke, Shaftesbury, Pope, Bolingbroke, and Hume. Of the true Deists only Collins, the most critical and the least theological, became prominent. Voltaire Voltaire (d. 1778) embraced the conception of natural religion with ardor, and entered into a polemics against intolerance in Church and State relations as well as against the philosophy of the Church and the prevailing religious Cartesianism ( Essai sur les mmurs et l'esprit des nations ; Dictionnaire philosophique , 1764). He derived his natural philosophy from Newton and Clarke, his theory of knowledge and his ideas on toleration from Locke, the main principles of his ethics from Shaftesbury, his critical method and the conception of natural religion from the Deists. All phenomena are explained historically by the interaction between man and his environment, and all things are governed by God acting only in accordance with natural laws. Natural morality and religion are not entirely innate ideas, but rather simple and universally prevalent conditions standing in need of development and following a course that leads through errors arising from ignorance and fear to an ultimate standard truth which is characterized as the "fruit of the cultivated reason." Deism is thereby emptied of all religious content and restricted to the field of morals and rational metaphysics.

57. Voltaire
    voltaire (1694-1778) a choisi de passer à Ferney les vingt dernières années de sa vie. Européen  
    http://www.cc-pays-de-gex.fr/mairies/ferney/voltaire.htm
    
    Extractions: A Ferney, Voltaire publia Candide et rédigea le Traité sur la Tolérance, le Dictionnaire Philosophique... Il se battit victorieusement pour la réhabilitation de Calas et, par lettres, libellés ou pamphlets, fut un des artisans majeurs de Révolution française, intervenue onze ans après sa mort. Le 5 juin 1998, Catherine Trautmann, ministre de la culture, est venue à Ferney pour annoncer l'acquisition du château de Voltaire par l'Etat. Au-delà du patrimoine immobilier, c'est le personnage de Voltaire, sa mémoire, ses prolongements contemporains, que l'Etat français et la Ville de Ferney-Voltaire veulent enfin mettre en pleine lumière.

    Extractions: Grasset 1970 Né en 1694 et mort à plus de quatre-vingt ans, Voltaire couvre tout le dix-huitième siècle. Enfant alors que La Fontaine et Racine étaient encore de ce monde, il aurait pu rencontrer, au soir de sa vie, le jeune Chateaubriand. Il a aussi été un combattant infatigable, et son écriture a toujours été au service de ses idées. Méprisé par les monarchistes et les religieux, le philosophe de Ferney a conquis les républicains, les anticléricaux et tous ceux se réclamant de la tolérance et d'un certain humanisme. Ce qui est paradoxal, deux siècles après sa mort, c'est que l'on ait presque oublié ses tragédies, alors que Voltaire y attachait une grande importance. Et, au contraire, nous étudions ses contes, alors qu'il les considérait, lui, comme mineurs. Voltaire incarne aujourd'hui le philosophe s'étant opposé à l'intolérance, et ayant, avant beaucoup d'autres, défendu les droits de l'homme et les grandes causes de l'humanité.

    Extractions: Intro Biographie Oeuvres Liens Biographie de Voltaire François Marie Arouet naît le 21 novembre à Paris. Il est le troisième enfant d'une famille dont le père est receveur à la Cour des Comptes. Il effectue de 1704 à 1711 de brillantes études de rhétorique et de philosophie chez les jésuites du collège Louis Le Grand. Cette éducation l'initie aux plaisirs de la conversation et du théâtre. Le jeune François Marie Arouet néglige ses études de droit. Il part comme secrétaire d'ambassade à la Haye. Il tombe amoureux d'une jolie huguenote, l'ambassadeur le renvoie à Paris. Dès sa sortie de prison, le jeune Arouet prend le pseudonyme de Voltaire (anagramme probable de A.R.O.V.E.T L.e I.eune). Il présente sa première tragédie, et connaît un beau succès. Le Régent, guère rancunier, lui accorde une pension. Mort de son père, qui lui lègue une belle fortune. Il publie La Henriade , une épopée consacrée à la grandeur de Henri IV. Il est chargé des représentations théâtrales pour les fêtes du mariage de louis XV. A sa libération, il s'exile en Angleterre. Il y passera deux ans et demi.

60. Cabaret Voltaire Interview
    Interview with Richard Kirk from early 1993, from the archives of the ezine Chaos Control.  
    http://www.chaoscontrol.com/archives/cabaretv.html
    
    Extractions: To fans of electronic and experimental music, Cabaret Voltaire are truly legends. Since 1978, the Sheffield-based group has been using technology to push the boundries of music to the absolute limits. Originally a trio of Richard H. Kirk, Stephen Mallinder and Christopher Watkins, Cabaret Voltaire are right up there with Throbbing Gristle as the pioneers of "industrial" music. The band, now consisting of just Kirk and Mallinder, has continued to evolve over the years and expand out of the "industrial" genre. Cabaret Voltaire has released two albums in the past year and half - "Plasticity" and "International Language"- and in April will complete the trilogy with "The Conversation." The three releases show that Cabaret Voltaire are right at home with todays styles of electronic music In Britain, Cabaret Voltaire are releasing on their own label (their music is licensed to Instinct for American distribution). Kirk says that having their own label allows them the luxury of putting out as many CDs as they want, bringing back the highly prolific nature that Cabaret Voltaire displayed in their early years. "Ultimately, I feel happier not working with the framework of a major because they don't like you to make too many records," he explains. "They prefer you to do like one record and spend the next three years promoting it. It's frustrating to me as an artist because I like to be constantly working on new music, and if you've got no outlet it's frustrating."
