    this is an example of the great loss many of our young generation have, because many people today and the last 2 generations, do not read Voltaire nor do they study history or philosophy. I am so glad I studied these things at college and later in the Seminary (which I later abandoned and shook loose).

      I am 14 I live in Britain. I do believe in what you have said but there are some exceptions, I wish we were all alike in the way that would unite us in history and philosophy. I love Voltaire. As I love to read Alexander Pope before bed. At my school ( private school ) we study world history and European history from 1066. We study Latin read Latin literature, philosophy and culture. I see that we both wish for a time that has passed us. My favourite era is the Napoleonic wars and his grace the Duke of Wellington’s campaigns during this period. And that is why my favourite quote is: Dieu ne pas pour le gras battalions Mais pour sequi tenant le meilleur. (God is not on the side of the big battalions but of the greatest shots)

    He also written over 2000 books. Maybe there's pamphlets and separated articles from those. Nevertheless, he indeed write to most of all topics ranging from arts, science, politics of his time etc. anecdotally he also drinks a lot of caffeine and love satire as tools against the priests and politicians.

    the average man living back in the 1700s was way more intellectual than even some of our smartest men and women or politiicans of today. My next study will be of John Locke, and Plato.

      ​@@franceleeparis37 No sir, it is said that God created humans in his own image, and a lot of people appropriate human-like traits to God, and in a sense humanize God.
