Step into the vibrant world of the Enlightenment as we explore the wit, wisdom, and daring ideas of Voltaire. Drawing from the Voltaire Premium Collection—his novels, philosophical writings, historical works, and plays—this discussion will illuminate how one man’s pen helped reshape the intellectual landscape of Europe.
Voltaire was more than a philosopher; he was a provocateur, a defender of reason, and a relentless critic of dogma. His works challenge us to ask:
- What does it mean to think freely in the face of authority?
- How can satire and storytelling become tools of resistance?
- What lessons can we draw from Voltaire’s vision of tolerance, justice, and human dignity?
This meetup is designed to be both accessible and intellectually rich. Whether you are a seasoned reader of Enlightenment thought or simply curious about how Voltaire’s ideas echo in today’s debates on freedom, reason, and truth, you’ll find a welcoming space for dialogue.
