   Extractions: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Voltaire (1694-1778) French writer, satirist, the embodiment of the 18th-century Enlightenment. Voltaire is remembered as a crusader against tyranny and bigotry. Compared to Rousseau's (1712-1778) rebelliousness and idealism, Voltaire was skeptical about the solution of the great philosophical problems. Voltaire disliked his great contemporary thinker, but their ideas influenced deeply the French Revolution. In 1761 he wrote to Rousseau: "One feels like crawling on all fours after reading your work." " Liberty of thought is the life of the soul." (from Essay on Epic Poetry Voltaire did not support the dogmatic theology of institutional religions, his religiosity was anticlerical. The doctrines about the Trinity or the Incarnation he dismissed as nonsense. As a humanist, he advocated religious and social tolerance. When he wrote in his play of Muhammad as a blind and destructive barbarian, everyone knew that he meant the Roman Church. Atheism Voltaire considered not as baleful as fanaticism, but nearly always fatal to virtue. At his 1726 stay at the Bastille Voltaire was visited by a flow of admirers. Between 1726 and 1729 he lived in exile mainly in England. There he avoided trouble for three years and wrote in English his first essays, ESSAY UPON EPIC POETRY and ESSAY UPON THE CIVIL WARS IN FRANCE, which were published in 1727. After his return to France Voltaire wrote plays, poetry, historical and scientific treatises and became royal historiographer. HISTOIRE DE CHARLES XII (1731) used novelistic technique and rejected the idea that divine intervention guides history. In 1734 appeared his

   Extractions: from the Letters on the English or Lettres Philosophiques, c. 1778 Introduction Letter XIV : On Descartes And Sir Isaac Newton A Frenchman who arrives in London, will find philosophy, like everything else, very much changed there. He had left the world a plenum, and he now finds it a vacuum. At Paris the universe is seen composed of vortices of subtile matter; but nothing like it is seen in London. In France, it is the pressure of the moon that causes the tides; but in England it is the sea that gravitates towards the moon; so that when you think that the moon should make it flood with us, those gentlemen fancy it should be ebb, which very unluckily cannot be proved. For to be able to do this, it is necessary the moon and the tides should have been inquired into at the very instant of the creation. You will observe farther, that the sun, which in France is said to have nothing to do in the affair, comes in here for very near a quarter of its assistance. According to your Cartesians, everything is performed by an impulsion, of which we have very little notion; and according to Sir Isaac Newton, it is by an attraction, the cause of which is as much unknown to us. At Paris you imagine that the earth is shaped like a melon, or of an oblique figure; at London it has an oblate one. A Cartesian declares that light exists in the air; but a Newtonian asserts that it comes from the sun in six minutes and a half. The several operations of your chemistry are performed by acids, alkalies and subtile matter; but attraction prevails even in chemistry among the English.

   Extractions: French philosopher and writer who was the leading literary figure of the Enlightenment. He had one of the sharpest wits of modern times. His Lettres Philosophiques (Philosophical Letters), a product of his visit to England, were critical of French society and provided an introduction to Newton for many Frenchmen. He also had one of his mistresses, the , translate the Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica into French. After Voltaire's death, it was no longer possible to study all disciplines of science as a part of a humanistic education. Thus, the Age of Reason died with Voltaire and the age of specialized science replaced it. Newton

    Extractions: François Marie d'Arouet Voltaire (1694-1778) Né en 1694, François Arouet, dit Voltaire, est d'abord un brillant jeune homme qui faisait une banale carrière jurdique. En 1716 et 1717 le jeune homme se rend coupable de textes trop critiques: le Régent l'envoie d'abord en exil, puis à la Bastille où il reste près d'un an. En 1726, il fait une voyage en Angleterre. En 1718, il prend le nom de Voltaire sans doute formé par l'anagramme de AROVET Le Ieune; cette naissance d'un homme nouveau, affranchi de toute tutelle et indépendant à l'égard des traditions, marque son entrée dans la lutte philosophique. Als einer der bedeutendsten Repräsentanten der Aufklärung lehnte Voltaire im wesentlichen alles Irrationale und mit logischem Denken nicht Vereinbare ab und rief seine Zeitgenossen dazu auf, sich gegen Intoleranz, Tyrannei und Aberglauben zu wehren. Seine Ethik gründete sich auf den Glauben an die Gedankenfreiheit und an die Würde des Menschen. Er engagierte sich für politische und religiöse Gleichheit und setzte sich für eine Literatur ein, die sich mit den aktuellen Problemen der Gesellschaft befassen sollte. Gemeinsam mit Rousseau und Montesquieu gehörte Voltaire zu den Mitarbeitern an der berühmten französischen Encyclopédie Diderots. Voltaires Werke enthalten zahlreiche denkwürdige Passagen, die sich durch geschliffene Rhetorik, Verständlichkeit und kritischen Geist auszeichnen. Seinem literarischen Werk, das Tragödien, philosophische Romane und historische Untersuchungen umfasst, liegen meist historische und philosophische Fragestellungen zugrunde.

    Extractions: ied May 30, 1778, Paris One of the greatest 18th-century European authors, remembered as a crusader against tyranny and bigotry and noted for his wit, satire, and vigorous critical capacity. Born of middle-class parents and educated by the Jesuits at the college of Louis-le-Grand in Paris, Voltaire studied law for a time but abandoned it to become a writer. He made his name with classical tragedies and continued to write for the theatre all his life. Voltaire's epic poem La Henriade was well-received, but his lampoons of the Regency and his liberal religious opinions caused offense. He was imprisoned in the Bastille for nearly a year (1717), and in 1726 he was driven into exile in England, where his philosophical interests deepened. In 1750, Voltaire accepted an invitation from Frederick II (1752), Zadig (1747), and Candide Voltaire Society of America Voltaire Foundation (Oxford)
