    Kees van Strien Een talent van wereldformaat: God of ketter Voltaire in de Republiek, 1733-1778 Kernwoorden: Voltaire – receptiegeschiedenis – Haagse uitgevers – Nederlandse vertalers – toneelkritiek In dit artikel wil ik een globaal overzicht geven van de manier waarop er in de Republiek der Zeven Verenigde Nederlanden is gereageerd op Voltaire (1694- 1778) als persoon en auteur tijdens diens leven. Het was een tijd waarin welge- stelde families hun kinderen Franstalig lieten opvoeden en waarin de jonge Bel- le van Zuylen en leden van families zoals Boreel en Van Hogendorp met elkaar in het Frans correspondeerden. Ze waren meer vertrouwd met de fabels van La Fontaine en de komedies van Molière dan met vader Cats en werk van andere literatoren van eigen bodem. De taal van Voltaire en de man zelf maakten zo- doende integraal deel uit van het literaire landschap in de Republiek. Voltaire had er ook persoonlijke kennissen. Tussen 1736 en 1743 verbleef hij ruim zes maanden in Holland. Daar woonden veel van zijn uitgevers en was hij, dankzij Nederlands- en Franstalige tijdschriften, vooral bekend als boeiend historicus en schrijver van toneelstukken die ook hier gespeeld en vertaald werden. Boven- dien kwam hij als vertrouweling van koning Frederik II van Pruisen en als ie- mand die vaak met overheid en kerk in de clinch lag, regelmatig in het nieuws. Bij mijn onderzoek heb ik wat betreft Franstalige kranten en tijdschriften dankbaar gebruik gemaakt van de onvolprezen internetsite Le Gazetier universel en voor de Nederlandstalige van Delpher en de Encyclopedie van Nederlandstalige tijdschriften (Rietje van Vliet, ed.). Veel andere informatie is afkomstig uit fami- liearchieven, vooral briefwisselingen en dagboeken.

  • The Venetian Conspiracy
    The Venetian Conspiracy « Against Oligarchy – Table of Contents Address delivered to the ICLC Conference near Wiesbaden, Germany, Easter Sunday, 1981; (appeared in Campaigner, September, 1981) Periods of history marked, like the one we are living through, by the convulsive instability of human institutions pose a special challenge for those who seek to base their actions on adequate and authentic knowledge of historical process. Such knowledge can come only through viewing history as the lawful interplay of contending conspiracies pitting Platonists against their epistemological and political adversaries. There is no better way to gain insight into such matters than through the study of the history of the Venetian oligarchy, the classic example of oligarchical despotism and evil outside of the Far East. Venice called itself the Serenissima Republica (Serene Republic), but it was no republic in any sense comprehensible to an American, as James Fenimore Cooper points out in the preface to his novel The Bravo. But its sinister institutions do provide an unmatched continuity of the most hideous oligarchical rule for fifteen centuries and more, from the years of the moribund Roman Empire in the West to the Napoleonic Wars, only yesterday in historical terms. Venice can best be thought of as a kind of conveyor belt, transporting the Babylonian contagions of decadent antiquity smack dab into the world of modern states. The more than one and one-half millennia of Venetian continuity is first of all that of the oligarchical families and the government that was their stooge, but it is even more the relentless application of a characteristic method of statecraft and political intelligence.

Students of Voltaire need not be told that nearly every important circumstance in connection with the history of this extraordinary man, from his birth to the final interment of his ashes in the Pantheon at Paris, is still matter of bitter con- troversy. If, guided in our judgment by the detractors of Voltaire, we were to read only the vituperative pro- ductions of the sentimentalists, the orthodox critics of the schools, the Dr. Johnsons, the Abb6 Maynards, Voltaire would still remain the most remarkable man of the eighteenth century.

  • Voltaire Contra Los Fanáticos
    «CREE LO QUE YO CREO Y LO QUE NO PUEDES CREER, O PERECERÁS; CREE O TE ABORREZCO; CREE O TE HARÉ TODO EL DAÑO QUE PUEDA.» Ese era el dogma del fanatismo según Voltaire. Y, como los atentados contra Charlie Hebdo volvieron a demostrar, lo sigue siendo hoy, dos siglos y medio después. Así que no es casual que las obras del filósofo se hayan convertido en el fenómeno editorial del momento en Francia. Voltaire fue, según Savater, el primer intelectual, un pensador que nunca se conformó con entender el mundo, sino que ansiaba transformarlo, y que comprendió como nadie antes que el texto era un poderoso instrumento de propaganda. De ahí su estilo directo, divertido y nunca frívolo, en el que prima siempre la voluntad pedagógica. Los paralelismos entre Savater y Voltaire son claros. En Savater reconocemos a Voltaire y por eso nadie mejor que él para exprimir su pensamiento y ofrecernos esta antología del gran ilustrado, llena de ironía y agudeza, además de estudiar su figura y acercarla a la lucha contra los fanatismos actuales. Se nos permite así conocer las reflexiones de un hombre genial, que dedicó su vida a combatir siglos de intolerancia, de rutinas dogmáticas, de autoridad mal entendida y peor ejercida. ¿Sus armas? Una aguda inteligencia y un espíritu sarcásticamente irreverente que impregnan toda su obra. www.lectulandia.com - Página 2 Fernando Savater Voltaire contra los fanáticos ePub r1.0 Titivillus 31.12.15 www.lectulandia.com - Página 3 Fernando Savater, 2015 Editor digital: Titivillus ePub base r1.2 www.lectulandia.com - Página 4 PRÓLOGO EL REGRESO DE VOLTAIRE EN LA GRAN MANIFESTACIÓN QUE SE CELEBRÓ en París después de los asesinatos de Charlie Hebdo, encabezada por jefes de Estado de numerosos países, se enarbolaron innumerables pancartas con el lema «Je suis Charlie».

  • Voltaire a Sketch of His Life and Works
    Voltaire A Sketch Of His Life And Works By G. W. Foote Voltaire A Sketch Of His Life And Works EARLY LIFE Two hundred years ago, on November 21st, 1604, a child emerged on the world at Paris. The baptismal register on the following day gave the name François Marie Arouet, and the youth afterwards christened himself Voltaire. The flesh was so weakly that the babe was ondovc (the term employed for informal sprinkling with water at home), lest there might be no time for the ecclesiastical rite. 1. He was a younger son. The name Voltaire is, perhaps, an anagram of the Arouet 1. j. (le jeune) the u being converted into r, and the j into r.
