Résultats pour "Voltaire" dans Religion et spiritualité

Candide is a sharp, unflinching critique of government, society, religion, education, and, most notably, the philosophy of optimism. Under the guidance of Dr. Pangloss, Candide and Cunegonde are taught that everything in this world happens for the best—a belief that quickly unravels as life throws its harsh lessons their way. This novel is not only brilliant and hilarious but also blasphemous, with Voltaire cleverly maintaining the mystery of authorship.

Candide by Voltaire. Candide, by Voltaire, is a satirical novella published in 1759 that critiques philosophical optimism, particularly the idea that "all is for the best in this best of all possible worlds". The story follows the naive protagonist, Candide, as he endures a series of horrific and absurd misfortunes, leading him to reject his tutor Pangloss's optimistic teachings and ultimately conclude that the key to happiness is to "cultivate one's garden". It is a sharp, witty, and often dark satire of religion, government, philosophy, and human nature.

Today our world is shrouded in an intellectual crisis fueled by religious ignorance and hypocrisy that unless rectified our planet will assuredly succumb to dire circumstances like climate change and political tyranny. The Voltaire Society of Reason (VSR) helps in the endeavor to bridge the cultural divide by cultivating human reason and religious sincerity.
