Discover the sharpest mind of the Age of Enlightenment: Voltaire. This biography explores his relentless advocacy for civil tolerance and reason, and how he used his pen to challenge the rigid religious dogma of the 18th century.
We dive into the tragic "Jean Calas Affair," a case that Voltaire used to expose how unchecked religious fanaticism and superstition could corrupt the justice system, arguing for the autonomy of secular law. The video also analyzes his literary masterpiece, Candide, a stinging critique of Leibnizian optimism.
Learn why Voltaire rejected the idea that we live in "the best of all possible worlds" and why he concluded that, instead of seeking answers to unresolvable metaphysical questions, we must focus on practical action and "cultivate our own garden."
