François-Marie Arouet, known by his nom de plume Voltaire, was a towering figure of the French Enlightenment, whose contributions to literature, philosophy, and history remain a timeless legacy. Born on November 21, 1694, in Paris, France, Voltaire established himself as a writer and a wit, unafraid to skewer the establishment and advocate for civil liberties and separation of church and state. Voltaire's oeuvre is expansive, encompassing plays, poems, novels, essays, and historical and scientific works, that challenge conventions and inspire critical thinking. Among his most notable work is 'Voltaire's Philosophical Dictionary' (1764), a seminal encyclopedic work, comprised of a series of essays that form a broad critique of traditional religion and the injustices of the time. The 'Philosophical Dictionary' is both a compendium of Enlightenment thought and an embodiment of Voltaire's literary style—marked by acerbic wit, irony, and clarity of reason. Throughout his career, Voltaire used his sharp pen to advocate for reason, progress, and freedom of expression, leaving an indelible mark on the world of letters. His influence extended beyond the pages, impacting social and political thought. Voltaire passed away on May 30, 1778, but his writings continue to engage scholars and readers alike in the fundamental questions of liberty, justice, and human happiness.
