   Extractions: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback French writer, satirist, the embodiment of the 18th-century Enlightenment, remembered as a crusader against tyranny and bigotry, a friend of Frederick II of Prussia and Catherina the Great of Russia. Voltaire represented anti-romanticism, wise skepticism, sober classicism; he did not believe in the solution of the great metaphysical problems and his religiosity was anticlerical. But compared to Rousseau's (1712-1778) rebelliousness, Voltaire was deeply rooted in the middle-class values. Voltaire disliked his great competing figure of literature and philosophy, but their ideas influenced deeply the French Revolution. In 1761 he wrote to Rousseau: "O ne feels like crawling on all fours after reading your work." " Liberty of thought is the life of the soul." (from Essay on Epic Poetry 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 Philosophical Letters

   Extractions: Louis XIV , then just dead, he was seized and sent to the Bastile (May 17th 1717), where he remained upwards of a year. This time of imprisonment he improved by sketching his famous poem, afterwards published as the Henriade , and by finishing his tragedy, Cedipe , which was produced on the 18th of November 1718, and had so great a success with the public. In the summer of 1725, he became involved in a quarrel with the Chevalier de Rohan, and sent him a challenge, and as a result was consigned once more to the Bastile. His imprisonment was not, on this occasion, a long one; but it was only under a sentence of exile that he was permitted to issue from durance; and on doing so, he took himself to England. Some little time previous, the young Arouet had assumed the name of Voltaire, destined to become so famous. Arriving in England in 1726, Voltaire remained there upwards of two years. Whilst resident there, he published in a revised form his epic poem, the Henriade Candide , or the Optimist , may stand as the type. His literary correspondence was on an unexampled scale, and he was seldom without some fierce polemic on hand, in which his adversaries had to writhe for the amusement of the public, under the scourge of his envenomed wit.

He also had one of his mistresses, the , translate the Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica into French.

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: Voltaire (1694-1778): On Religion, from the Philosophical Dictionary I MEDITATED last night; I was absorbed in the contemplation of nature; I admired the immensity, the course, the harmony of these infinite globes which the vulgar do not know how to admire. I was plunged in these ideas when one of those genii who fill the intermundane spaces came down to me. I recognized this same aerial creature who had appeared to me on another occasion to teach me how different God's judgments were from our own, and how a good action is preferable to a controversy. He transported me into a desert all covered with piled up bones; and between these heaps of dead men there were walks of ever-green trees, and at the end of each walk a tall man of august mien, who regarded these sad remains with pity. " Alas! my archangel," said I, " where have you brought me? " " To desolation," he answered.

    Extractions: Voltaire (1694-1778): Letters on Newton, from the Letters on the English or Lettres Philosophiques , c. 1778 It is almost impossible to overstate the influence of Sir Isaac Newton. Newton, however, write his major works in Latin. His ideas were popularised by later writer, among whom Voltaire was prominent. Here Voltaire compares the great French thinker, Descartes, with Newton. 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: Mais en 1744, Voltaire retrouve la faveur du roi et retourne s'installer à Paris où il participe à la vie mondaine de la cour de Versailles. Cette trève est de courte durée et Voltaire s'attire à nouveau l'hostilité de la cour par ses écrits (il raconte, en les transposant, ses mésaventures de courtisan). Disgrâcié, il part en 1750 et se réfugie en Prusse à la cour de Frédéric 11. Une querelle avec ce dernier mettra un terme à son séjour. Cinq ans plus tard, il quitte Genève et s'établit en France, à Ferney, à portée de la Suisse, prêt à s'y réfugier à la moindre alerte. C'est là qu'il écrira ses dernières oeuvres (6000 lettres, 10 tragédies et un dictionnaire philosophique) tout en s'occupant d'agriculture et d'élevage. En 1778, Voltaire revient à Paris: il y est accueilli triomphalement. Épuisé par tant de gloire, il meurt le 30 mai. Il a 84 ans.
