About Voltaire
Voltaire, born François-Marie Arouet, was a prominent French Enlightenment writer, historian, and philosopher who lived from 1694 to 1778. Famous for his wit, satire, and relentless criticism of religious intolerance and the established political order, he produced numerous books, plays, and pamphlets. Voltaire was a versatile author whose celebrated 1759 novella Candide satirized philosophical optimism and contemporary societal flaws. Exiled to England early in his career, he absorbed key ideas on constitutional government, free expression, and religious tolerance, which heavily influenced his later philosophical works. Throughout his long life, Voltaire campaigned vigorously for civil liberties, including the right to a fair trial and freedom of speech, frequently clashing with French authorities and the Roman Catholic Church. His sharp intellectual contributions helped shape modern concepts of secularism and individual rights, solidifying his status as an iconic figure of the European Age of Enlightenment.
