This segment on my lecture on the Enlightenment philosophes focuses on Voltaire - the most famous of the Enlightenment thinkers. This brief introduction to Voltaire addresses some of his most famous literary works (Candide, Philosophical Dictionary, and Letters on England) as well as his philosophical contributions to the Enlightenment, specifically his advocacy of religious toleration and Deism.

Go ahead and do it professor . It’ll be a great contribution, and I’m sure personally rewarding

Tom, I’m so glad to have found your channel. I’m subscribed. I’ve been studying deism, and found your channel. I was Christian for about three decades, “deconverted”, and almost became an atheist. Belief is complex, because it seems to occur on a spectrum. Deism seems to be, where I fall on that spectrum.

Hello! This channel is adequately educating. I have a degree in political science and am getting a deeper understanding of political ideas that have been shaping the current global politics more than when I was being taught them in university. The lecturer is exceptionally gifted for sure. He knows how to get his lesson across so that all people can understand easily. Thanks again Rechey

Wish my professors in school were as passionate, as articulate and as inspiring as you. Do you ever discuss the role of Freemasonry in the lives of many like Voltaire? Thank you.

Voltaire was the the encyclopedia. He was a philosopher historian who wrote very important subjects like Mathematics, Science, Philosophy, Literature, political history, dialectic etc.

Great 14 min synopsis! Can't believe kids today are getting classroom content this dense. Would have appreciated a sprinkling of a couple of his larger contributions on free speech and separation of church and state as they both are foundations to how we self-organize

Thomas Paine was also a Deist. He criticized all kinds of religions including Atheism.

“Religions including atheism” sorry but atheism is not a religion it is a stance that refuses the religious claims

@lostintashkent 6 лет назад

By chance i'm in Buenos Aires where Candide went looking for his mistress. When I wander around the streets of the old town, I can't help but think about Voltaire's book: Like poor Candide, I find myself here because "all is for the best in the best of all worlds". Read the book!

@jdd108 6 лет назад

Hey man - love your videos. Just discovered them and am really enjoying my time watching them. My only issue is that I die a little when you pronounce "philosophes" as "philos-oafs". Its more of a "philos-offs". Keep up the good work!

@johnagapi5970 6 лет назад

Justin Chevrier now, having demonstrated your unparalleled ability to pronounce the word do you feel better about yourself?

@skinach 4 года назад

Don't most people pronounce it as "phili-soaf"?

@mrridikilis Год назад

Candide is the only book I've ever read in French ;-)

@antheatulloch3062 6 лет назад

Did Voltaire write anything for that Encylcopedia which was composed around the time of the French Rev'n? I think it was in little sections and was part of the salon culture???
