Powiastka filozoficzna jako gatunek literacki rozwinęła się w oświeceniu, m.in. za sprawą Voltaire’a i Diderota. Pod płaszczykiem lekkiej narracyjnej formy, wykorzystującej satyrę obyczajową i wątki awanturnicze czy romansowe, propagowała idee filozoficzne i stawiała kluczowe dla danego nurtu pytania. Pisane ciętym, błyskotliwym, pełnym humoru językiem „Powiastki” Voltaire’a pozostają dziełem ponadczasowym, ilustrującym zamiłowanie autora do wolności i mądrości.

Powiastkę filozoficzną „Prostaczek” francuski filozof Voltaire napisał w 1767 r., jednak wydał ją anonimowo. Pełen tytuł brzmiał „Prostaczek. Historia prawdziwa, znaleziona w papierach ojca Quesnela”. Przywołany w tytule Pasquier Quesnel, któremu Voltaire przypisał poniekąd autorstwo utworu, był teologiem francuskim, jednym z przywódców ruchu jansenistycznego. Ruch ten dążył do odnowy Kościoła katolickiego, jednak spotkał się z potępieniem. Utwór porusza szeroko dyskutowane w czasach Voltaire’a zagadnienia religijne.

Osoby każdej społecznej kondycji znajdą tu coś, co je oświeci, a jednocześnie zabawi. Książka ta nie wymaga systematycznej lektury, w którymkolwiek jednak miejscu się ją otworzy, znajdzie się coś, co skłoni do zastanowienia. Najbardziej pożyteczne książki to te, których czytelnicy dołożą od siebie połowę; rozwiną myśli, które znajdą w postaci zarodka; poprawią, co im się wyda wybrakowane i przez swe rozważania umocnią to, co im się wyda słabe. Książkę tę winni jednak czytać ludzie oświeceni; pospólstwo nie jest przygotowane do przyswajania sobie takowej wiedzy; filozofia nie będzie nigdy jego udziałem. Ci, którzy powiadają, że są takie prawdy, które należy ukrywać przed pospólstwem, nie powinni się niepokoić; lud pracuje przez sześć dni w tygodniu, a siódmy dzień spędza w karczmie. Słowem, dzieła filozoficzne przeznaczone są dla filozofów, a każdy zacny człowiek winien starać się, by zostać filozofem, a nie pozować na niego. – Voltaire, Przedmowa

Socrates / Voltaire. - [miejsce nieznane] : Sheba Blake Publishing : Legimi, 2017.
Autor
Forma i typ
Socrates is a 1759 French play in three acts written by Voltaire. It is set in Ancient Greece during the events just before the trial and death of Greek philosopher Socrates. It is heavy with satire specifically at government authority and organized religion. The main characters besides the titular role is that of the priest Anitus, his entourage, Socrates' wife Xantippe, several judges, and some children Socrates has adopted as his own. Like more historical accounts by Herodotus, Plato, and Xenophon, the playwright shows Socrates as a moral individual charged with baseless accusations by a conspiracy of corrupt Athenians or Athenian officials although Voltaire implies that the wrongdoers are a select few. Unlike the historical account, Socrates deals with several judges, whereas his real life counterpart receives his punishment of death by hemlock by a jury of 500 Athenians. The presence or mention of Socrates' best-known students such as Plato, Antisthenes, Zeno of Citium, and others are replaced by unnamed disciples, delivering only a few token lines at the end of the play. Socrates is also portrayed as a monotheist and a victim of religious persecution, an interpretation that is not generally shared by modern scholars and historians. Generally, this is not the most well-known of his works in comparison with Letters on the English which Voltaire published in 1778 or the Dictionnaire philosophique published earlier in 1764. However, hints of his contempt for government and religion are apparent here which later influenced the leaders of the American Revolution and the French Revolution.

This carefully crafted ebook: "The Sincere Huron (French Classics Series)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. The Huron, or originally called L'Ingénu is a satirical novel and it tells the story of a Huron called "Child of Nature" who, after having crossed the Atlantic to England, crosses into Brittany, France in the 1690s. Upon arrival, a prior notices depictions of his brother and sister-in-law, whom they deduce to be the Huron's parents - making him French. Having grown up outside of European culture, he sees the world in a more 'natural' way, causing him to interpret things directly, unaware of what is customary, leading to comic misinterpretations. After reading the Bible, he feels he should be circumcised and calls upon a surgeon to perform the operation (which is stopped through the intervention of his 'family'). After his first confession, he tries to force the priest to confess as well - interpreting a biblical verse to mean confessions must be made mutually and not exempting the clergy. Not expecting to be baptized in a church, they find the Child of Nature waiting in a stream, as baptisms are depicted in the Bible. The story satirizes religious doctrine, government corruption, and the folly and injustices of French society. François-Marie Arouet (1694-1778), known by his nom de plume Voltaire, was a French Enlightenment writer, historian, and philosopher famous for his wit, his attacks on the established Catholic Church, and his advocacy of freedom of religion, freedom of expression, and separation of church and state. As a satirical polemicist, he frequently made use of his works to criticize intolerance, religious dogma, and the French institutions of his day.

Voltaire reflexionó y actuó como un intelectual comprometido, y nos invita a "meter las manos en el mundo". Combinó diversos géneros literarios, convencido de que todos los medios son válidos para llevar a cabo una denuncia y enmendar una injusticia. Hizo célebre una frase que recorrió Europa: "¡Aplastar al infame!" (Écrasez l'Infame!), su pedido desesperado para que nadie tolere la intolerancia. Usó la ironía para evidenciar los absurdos de la superstición, y el humor para batallar contra los prejuicios de los dogmas y la violencia del fanatismo. La obra de Voltaire, uno de los pensadores más relevantes de la Ilustración, está más vigente que nunca, y nos propone ser tolerantes para salvar a la humanidad.

Voltaire's 'ZADIG - The Book of Faith' is a compelling historical novel that delves into the themes of destiny, morality, and the importance of faith in the face of adversity. Set in ancient Babylon, the story follows the protagonist Zadig who embarks on a journey of self-discovery and moral enlightenment.

Zadig Or, The Book of Fate Voltaire - Zadig; or, The Book of Fate (French: Zadig ou la Destinée; 1747) is a novella and work of philosophical fiction by the Enlightenment writer Voltaire. It tells the story of Zadig, a Zoroastrian philosopher in ancient Babylonia. The author does not attempt any historical accuracy, and some of the problems Zadig faces are thinly disguised references to social and political problems of Voltaire's own day. It was originally published as Memnon in Amsterdam (with a false imprint of London given) and first issued under its more familiar title in 1748. The book makes use of the Persian tale The Three Princes of Serendip. It is philosophical in nature, and presents human life as in the hands of a destiny beyond human control. Voltaire challenges religious and metaphysical orthodoxy with his presentation of the moral revolution taking place in Zadig himself. Zadig is one of Voltaire's most celebrated works after Candide. Many literary critics have praised Voltaire's use of contradiction and juxtaposition.

„Zadig, czyli Los” to powiastka filozoficzna francuskiego filozofa Voltaire’a, wydana w 1747 r. Ubrana w kostium baśni wschodnich, sięgająca do średniowiecznych romansów rycerskich, porusza zagadnienia nurtujące intelektualistów w XVIII-wiecznej Francji. Burzliwe dzieje tytułowego bohatera mają częściowo autobiograficzny charakter. Podsuwają one Voltaire’owi pretekst do krytyki stosunków panujących w XVIII-wiecznym społeczeństwie francuskim oraz zadawania podstawowych filozoficznych pytań o Boga i sens zła.
