Philosophical Dictionary
(eBook)
Description
The incendiary book that skewers the sacred institutions of eighteenth-century France from the famous Enlightenment philosopher and author of Candide. From adultery to virtue, this alphabetically organized collection of essays gives you a glimpse into the brilliant mind of Voltaire. Instantly placed on the Vatican's list of banned books when it was originally published in 1764, Philosophical Dictionary showcases Voltaire's cutting wit and fearlessness in letting loose his thoughts-no matter how controversial-on Roman Catholicism, beauty, democracy, liberty, nature, prejudices, tyranny, superstition, tolerance, and other subjects that were considered off-limits in his day. This timeless classic reveals a revolutionary mind and its ideas, those at the core of progressive thought then and now.
