François-Marie Arouet (21 November 1694 – 30 May 1778) was a French Enlightenment writer, historian, and philosopher. Known by his nom de plume Voltaire, he was famous for his wit, and his criticism of Christianity—especially the Roman Catholic Church—and of slavery. Voltaire was an advocate of freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and separation of church and state.

Voltaire was a versatile and prolific writer, producing works in almost every literary form, including plays, poems, novels, essays, histories, and scientific expositions. He wrote more than 20,000 letters and 2,000 books and pamphlets.Voltaire was one of the first authors to become renowned and commercially successful internationally. He was an outspoken advocate of civil liberties and was at constant risk from the strict censorship laws of the Catholic French monarchy. His polemics witheringly satirized intolerance, religious dogma, and the French institutions of his day. His best-known work and magnum opus, Candide, is a novella which comments on, criticizes, and ridicules many events, thinkers, and philosophies of his time.

Book Description

Filosofía de la Historia pdf by Voltaire

Esta Filosofía de la Historia (1765) constituye una de las tentativas volterianas de leer la historia a través del prisma de la Ilustración, de la Razón crítica.
Se trata de un texto que examina la formación de las primeras sociedades, la construcción de los primeros lenguajes y sistemas políticos, las «leyes naturales que rigen la conducta del hombre» y, sobre todo, el desarrollo y consolidación de religiones y supersticiones, en un trabajo que pone en marcha toda la erudición y la ironía volterianas en servicio de una revisión crítica de las «fábulas» aceptadas como verdades incuestionables. Un texto que, además, da cuenta del estado de la cuestión histórica entre los pensadores más avanzados del Siglo de las Luces: el estado de la disciplina en el momento en que empieza a fraguarse aquello que sería llamado, muchos años después, la «historia social», la «historia de las mentalidades». Todo ello en una obra que resulta, por otra parte, un furibundo ataque contra las bases del dogmatismo cristiano.
