Candide, Or Optimism

When his love for the Baron's daughter is discovered, Candide is cast out to make his own way in the world. And so he and his companions begin a breathless tour of Europe, South America and Asia, as an outrageous series of disasters befall them earthquakes, syphilis, a brush with the Inquisition, and murder, testing the young hero's optimism.

Candide

Het optimisme van Candide wordt op de proef gesteld in een van ’s werelds bekendste en invloedrijkste satires. Voltaire laat geen spaan heel van de optimistische en christelijke levensfilosofie van de Verlichting; en zo’n literaire afrekening blijft voor altijd actueel.

Dizionario filosofico

Pubblicato in forma definitiva nel 1769, il Dizionario filosofico riprende lo spirito antisistematico e divulgativo dell'Encyclopédie di Diderot e D'Alembert, affrontando in uno stile polemico e aneddotico i temi cari al pensiero illuminista. Denso di aneddoti storici, sentenze acute, graziose fantasie satiriche, osservazioni spiritose, efficaci spunti di polemica civile e politica, l'opera che qui presentiamo è forse quella più completa e caratteristica del genio e dello stile caustico di Voltaire. La sua lettura fa cogliere alle origini i temi di fondo che hanno accompagnato lo sviluppo della moderna civiltà liberal-democratica in Europa. I grandi principi dello Stato laico, dell'eguaglianza di diritti e doveri, del rispetto delle prerogative naturali dei singoli individui, della libertà di pensiero, della necessità di diffondere il sapere e salvaguardare il pacifico convivere di una pluralità di opinioni e orientamenti culturali vi sono esposti con un acume analitico che conserva ancor oggi piena attualità.
