Описание: This book does not demand continuous reading; but at whatever place one opens it, one will find matter for reflection. The most useful books are those of which readers themselves compose half; they extend the thoughts of which the germ is presented to them; they correct what seems defective to them, and they fortify by their reflections what seems to them weak. It is only really by enlightened people that this book can be read; the ordinary man is not made for such knowledge; philosophy will never be his lot. Those who say that there are truths which must be hidden from the people, need not be alarmed; the people do not read; they work six days of the week, and on the seventh go to the inn. In a word, philosophical works are made only for philosophers, and every honest man must try to be a philosopher, without pluming himself on being one. This alphabet is extracted from the most estimable works which are not commonly within the reach of the many; and if the author does not always mention the sources of his information, as being well enough known to the learned, he must not be suspected of wishing to take the credit for other people's work, because he himself preserves anonymity。
Автор: Voltaire Название: Candide ISBN: 1086745981 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781086745986 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 10330.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Candide, ou l'Optimisme (1759) is a French satire by the Enlightenment philosopher Voltaire, English translations of which have been titled Candide: Or, All for the Best (1759); Candide: Or, The Optimist (1762); and Candide: Or, Optimism (1947). The novella begins with a young man, Candide, who is living a sheltered life in an Edenic paradise and being indoctrinated with Leibnizian optimism (or simply optimism) by his tutor, Pangloss. The work describes the abrupt cessation of this existence, followed by Candide's slow, painful disillusionment as he witnesses and experiences great hardships in the world. Voltaire concludes with Candide, if not outright rejecting optimism, advocating an enigmatic precept, "we must cultivate our garden", in lieu of the Leibnizian mantra of Pangloss, "all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds".

Описание: Inspired by Voltaire's two-year stay in England (1726-8), this is one of the key works of the Enlightment. Exactly contemporary with Gulliver's Travels and The
Beggar's Opera, Voltaire's controversial pronouncements on politics, philosophy, religion, and literature have place the Letters among the great Augustan satires. Voltaire wrote most of
the book in English, in which he was fluent and witty, and it fast became a bestseller in Britain.
He re-wrote it in French as the Lettres philosophiques, and current editions in
English translate his French. This edition restores for the modern reader Voltaire's own English text, allowing us to appreciate him as a stylist at first hand. It is the only critical edition of
the original text and, as well as providing an introduction and notes, it includes intriguing accounts of Voltaire by contemporary English ovservers.

Описание: Après une étape sur Saturne où il se fait un compagnon de voyage, philosophe comme lui, Micromégas, habitant de Sirius, vient visiter la terre des hommes, "notre petite fourmilière": occasion de péripéties nombreuses et de dialogues variés. Puis, à la fin du livre, les deux personnages reprennent leur voyage, on ne sait vers quelle destination. Le lecteur ne les accompagne plus.Il demeure aux côtés des Terriens, ses semblables.Si l'étrangeté dont joue Voltaire dans ce conte qu'il publie en 1752 est d'abord celle des deux voyageurs, des autres mondes habités et du voyage interstellaire, c'est bien ensuite celle des Terriens qu'il met en scène: étrangeté physique, puis intellectuelle et philosophique. Le livre ainsi nous invite à changer de rôle, à philosopher nous aussi, non sur des créatures imaginaires, mais au contraire sur l'Homme. A l'évidence, Voltaire s'amuse. Son rire pourtant n'est pas gratuit: Micromégas est une histoire philosophique, une magniÞque leçon de "gai savoir".

Описание: The inimitable Nancy Mitford's account of Voltaire's fifteen-year relationship with the Marquise du Ch telet--the renowned mathematician who introduced Isaac Newton's revolutionary new physics to France--is a spirited romp in the company of two extraordinary individuals as well as an erudite and gossipy guide to French high society during the Enlightenment. Mitford's story is as delicious as it is complicated. The marquise was in love with another mathematician, Maupertuis, while she had an unexpected rival for Voltaire's affections in the future Frederick the Great of Prussia (and later in the philosophe's own niece). There was, at least, no jealous husband to contend with: the Marquis du Ch telet, Mitford assures us, behaved perfectly. The beau monde of Paris was, however, distraught at the idea of the lovers' brilliant conversation going to waste on the windswept hills of Champagne, site of the Ch teau de Cirey, where experimental laboratories, a darkroom, and a library of more than twenty-one thousand volumes enabled them to pursue their amours philosophiques. From time to time the threat of impending arrest would send Voltaire scurrying across the border into Holland, but his irrepressible charm--and the interventions of powerful friends--always made it possible for him resume his studies with the cherished marquise.
