Voltaire (1694-1778) - the pseudonym of Francois-Marie Arue, a philosopher and writer who led the educational movement in France. For decades, he was the "ruler of thoughts" not only in his country, but also far beyond its borders. Possessing a sharp mind, the brilliant gift of a satirist, multilateral erudition and a passionate political temperament, Voltaire, with his philosophical, historical, journalistic and artistic works, dealt a crushing blow to feudal remnants and clerical obscurantism. The volume presents selected articles from the famous "Philosophical Dictionary" - Voltaire's most significant work, as well as his pamphlets "Gods and People" and "Questions about Miracles."
