VG: in Very Good condition without dust jacket as issued. When Voltaire penned his masterpiece, he was well-experienced and incredibly apt. I've truthfully never been into philosophy outside of my own pseudo philosophical ideas but Candide and Zadig are extremely fun, witty, and wimsical stories which expound on Voltaire's philosophical ideas in a way that is truly enjoyable and not fraught with lectures. Among many flaws, the two that mainly stick out are his ethnic stereotypes and sexism. Candide was very funny--can't believe I hadn't read this earlier. Illustrations by Brunelleschi. Another story took it a step further, with virtuous aliens from Saturn and SIrus coming to Earth to see how weird we are. I do think that Voltaire was pulled between the rhetoric of the philosphe and the narrative arc of the fiction writer.

  • Pierre Cambou Lycée Saint-Sernin, DAM, Université Toulouse II
    LES OREILLES DU COMTE DE CHESTERFIELD OU L’impasse DU TRAITEMENT GÉNÉrique Pierre Cambou Lycée Saint-Sernin, DAM, Université Toulouse II Les Oreilles du comte de Chesterfield est un conte de vieillesse. L’énergie s’y 289 dégrade en ressassement, l’ironie en cynisme, avec son résidu d’amertume. n voltaire revue Critiques fondées, par rapport au goût, et au goût voltairien lui-même. Beaucoup moins par rapport à une poétique du conte qui, à force d’être pratiquée, se crispe mais se stylise aussi et révèle des constantes. Il se pourrait même que l’humeur, la hâte ou la peur d’en finir, le relâchement du propos, libèrent des virtualités narratives jusqu’alors contenues, et les ° 9 portent à un degré d’incandescence jamais atteint. C’est ainsi que ce texte • subvertit non seulement le conte classique, mais aussi le traitement qu’en pups donne habituellement Voltaire, en une sorte de surdétermination parodique • qui se donne à lire, très clairement, dans la progression linéaire du récit. La 2009 narration y est peut-être moins celle d’une déception intellectuelle et morale que d’un dérèglement de la pratique voltairienne du conte, un exercice ultime et exaspéré d’autocritique qui mettrait à l’épreuve et dramatiserait le renouvellement philosophique du genre. SITUATION INITIALE OU CONTE EN RACCOURCI ? (CHAP. 1) La formule augurale, « La fatalité gouverne irrémissiblement toutes les choses de ce monde 1 », programme la narration, comme dans la scène des dons.

  • FRANÇOIS MARIE AROUET DE VOLTAIRE (1694-1778) Author: George Saintsbury, D.C.L., LL.D
    FRANÇOIS MARIE AROUET DE VOLTAIRE (1694-1778) Author: George Saintsbury, D.C.L., LL.D. Encyclopedia Britannica (New York 1911) vol. 28: 199-205. Electronic Text edited, modified & paginated by Dr Robert A. Hatch© VOLTAIRE, FRANCOIS MARIE AROUET DE. French philosopher, historian, dramatist and man of letters, whose real name was François Marie Arouet simply, was born on the 21st of November 1694 at Paris, and was baptized the next day. His father was François Arouet, a notary; his mother was Marie Marguerite Daumart or D’Aumard. Both father and mother were of Poitevin extraction, but the Arouets had been for two generations established in Paris, the grandfather being a prosperous tradesman. The family appear to have always belonged to the yeoman-tradesman class; their special home was the town of Saint-Loup. Voltaire was the fifth child of his parents—twin boys (of whom one survived), a girl, Marguerite Catherine, and another boy who died young, having preceded him. Not very much is known of the mother, who died when Voltaire was but seven years old. She pretty certainly was the chief cause of his early introduction to good society, the Abbé de Châteauneuf (his sponsor in more ways than one) having been her friend. The father appears to have been somewhat peremptory in temper, but neither inhospitable nor tyrannical. Marguerite Arouet, of whom her younger brother was very fond, married early, her husbands name being Mignot; the elder brother, Armand, was a strong Jansenist, and there never was any kind of sympathy between him and François. The Abbé do Châteauneuf instructed him early in belles lettres and deism, and he showed when a child the unsurpassed faculty for facile verse-making which always distinguished him.

  • Candide and Other Stories (Oxford World's Classics)
    oxford world’ s classics CANDIDE and other stories Voltaire was the assumed name of François-Marie Arouet (1694– 1778). Born into a well-to-do Parisian family, he was educated at the leading Jesuit college in Paris. Having refused to follow his father and elder brother into the legal profession he soon won widespread acclaim for Œdipe (1718), the first of some twenty-seven tragedies which he continued to write until the end of his life. His national epic La Henriade (1723) confirmed his reputation as the leading French literary figure of his generation. Following a quarrel with the worthless but influential aristocrat, the Chevalier de Rohan, he was forced into exile in England. This period (1726–8) was particularly formative, and his Letters concern- ing the English Nation (1733) constitute the first major expression of Voltaire’s deism and his subsequent lifelong opposition to religious and political oppression. Following the happy years (1734–43) spent at Cirey with his mistress Mme du Châtelet in the shared pursuit of several intellectual enthusiasms, notably the work of Isaac Newton, he enjoyed a brief interval of favour at court during which he was appointed Historiographer to the King. After the death of Mme du Châtelet in 1749 he finally accepted an invitation to the court of Frederick of Prussia, but left in 1753 when life with this particular enlightened despot became intolerable. In 1755, after temporary sojourn in Colmar, he settled at Les Délices on the outskirts of Geneva. He then moved to nearby Ferney in 1759, the year Candide was published.

  • Voltaire. a Perfect Case for Comparison
    Voltaire. A perfect case for comparison ABDERHAMAN MESSAOUDI1 [email protected] My theoretical approach in this paper consists in showing that in Voltaire’s case comparison is a crucial issue in every sense of the word and on all fronts. More precisely, my questions are: in which way can comparison be useful in the treatment of Voltaire’s case and to what extent ? How does it play a crucial part in our way of perceiving the French philosopher ? In order to answer these questions, I shall start by considering two points. At first, a certain number of texts by Voltaire like Candide are usually called in French « contes » (a word which can be translated into English by « tales ») or « contes philosophiques ». Next, in general, Voltaire is still not considered as a true thinker or a real philosopher. With regard to the way of describing some of Voltaire’s texts, most scholars invite us to evacuate the problem of the distinctions of genre. They insist on the fact that in Voltaire’s time the difference between what was used to be called in French « roman » and « conte » did not exist or was not so important. Therefore, they claim to have adopted the word « conte » only by tradition and for convenience. But other scholars have different views on both points. Here, it seems relevant to make a first comparison : it is a simple question of comparing different scholars’ judgments. Concerning the description of Voltaire’s tales, Sylvain Menant retains like many others the word « contes » (1992 : xviii), but he does not deny the distinction between contes and romans for the eighteenth century.

  • Short-Short Sequences, Series, Sounds and Visions
    an online journal of trespassing art, science, and philosophy www.trespassingjournal.com Trespassing Genre: Issue 2, Winter 2013 Short-short Sequences, Series, Sounds and Visions Laura Tansley I see short-short’s everywhere. Scratched in to walls, printed on posters, between covers, beneath glass cases, in music. After nearly a decade of study, it’s not surprising that I have a preoccupation, that I might see a short-short rather than a piece of art, a poem, novel or a song. But what is surprising is that I’m always surprised by where I find them, and when I do find them, they consistently manage to change my understanding of the short-short and its reach, its potential; its definition spreads. What occurs to me now, as my research continues, is that the short-short story is about questions, and may always be about questions. What are the very things, the handful of things, when everything else is washed away, that makes a story? Or, what is it that makes truth/s in a story? Its forms are about questioning borders, and the questions that arise from existing in the margins. But the short- short is slippery, and my answers to these questions will never quite stay still. On short-shorts I first read Carolyn Forché’s ‘The Colonel’ in 2004 in a Creative Writing module called Microfiction I at the University of Cardiff. Forché’s piece was succinct and it stayed with me long after the words on the page ran out. So it was microfiction, for me, for a time.

Amaside on the conte Le Taureau blanc (1774)' offers remarkable insight into Voltaire's use of the conte as persuasive discourse for two reasons. First, as the pur- est example of the genre among his last contes, it is in many ways the quintessence of his talents as a conteur. This tale does not cover any new ideological territory in its treatment of the Old Testament, a preoccupation found in much of his production of the Ferney period; nor does it introduce any technical innovations.

    Revista Trágica: estudos de filosofia da imanência – 1º quadrimestre de 2014 – Vol. 7 – nº 1 – pp.21-44 De Zadig a Zaratustra * De Zadig à Zarathoustra Guillaume Métayer ** Resumo: Trata-se de propor uma reflexão sobre a relação entre Voltaire e Nietzsche, a partir da exposição das possíveis aproximações entre Zadig e Assim falava Zaratustra , tendo como ponto central a importância do personagem histórico Zoroastro, ou Zaratustra, para ambos os pensadores. Palavras-chave: Voltaire, Nietzsche, Zoroastro Résumé : Il s’agit de proposer une réflexion sur la relation entre Voltaire et Nietzsche, à partir de l’exposition des possibles rapprochements entre Zadig et Ainsi parlait Zarathoustra , ayant pour point central l’importance du personnage historique de Zoroastre, ou Zarathoustra, pour les deux penseurs. Mots-clés : Voltaire, Nietzsche, Zoroastre No momento da publicação de Assim falou Zaratustra, Nietzsche se lembrou de Voltaire. Estamos em 26 de agosto de 1883: Nietzsche, nesse dia, envia duas cartas triunfantes aos seus amigos Köselitz e Overbeck. Ele escreve ao primeiro: “Aqui, meu amigo, por mais ridículo que isso possa soar aos vossos ouvidos 1, eu ouvi pela primeira vez do exterior o que eu ouvi de vossa parte e sei há muito tempo: eu sou um dos mais terríveis adversários do cristianismo e eu descobri uma forma de ataque de que Voltaire mesmo não tinha nenhuma ideia” 2. Ao segundo, ele faz saber dessa mesma aprovação : * O texto a seguir é, com o mesmo título, o capítulo VII do livro Nietzsche et Voltaire , do mesmo autor, publicado pela Flammarion em Paris em 2011. Nesta mesma edição da Revista Trágica encontra-se disponível uma resenha sobre o referido livro.

La séquence 1 suit une démarche historique visant à Voltaire, le maître incontesté du genre en fait une arme montrer les métamorphoses du genre de la fable. dans la lutte philosophique (Micromégas, p. 318) et lui Celle-ci se présente chez Ésope sous la forme d’un confère un caractère ironique et critique. Le récit et les récit en prose dépouillé, extrêmement stylisé et animé personnages sont construits en vue de la démonstration, d’une visée didactique affirmée. Avec La Fontaine, le ce qui n’exclut pas cependant le pittoresque (Le genre s’enrichit : la narration est davantage développée, Philosophe ignorant, p. 314). Le conte de Diderot agrémentée de notations pittoresques, les personnages s’apparente davantage à l’art de la conversation : c’est prennent une épaisseur psychologique nouvelle et dans une lettre, un essai (Salons, p. 315), un roman qu’il sont ancrés dans une réalité quotidienne et sociale ; la interrompt soudain le fil de son propos pour insérer morale gagne en profondeur humaine et s’élargit en une une histoire chargée de détendre le lecteur. Ceci donne observation morale et philosophique. Avec son recueil, une tonalité plus familière à son récit dont on sent qu’il Florian nous a paru marquer un aboutissement : il se obéit aussi au simple plaisir de raconter. Italo Calvino est pose en héritier de La Fontaine et marque la fin de l’héritier direct de cette tradition pittoresque et critique l’époque classique de la fable.
