Voltaire and the Triumph of the Enlightenment
Alan Charles Kors
To study Voltaire is to study both the most representative and the most influential author of the French Enlightenment⎯a rare combination of qualities in any era⎯and to study an individual thinker and historical personality of the utmost singularity. This course seeks not to judge Voltaire either philosophically or morally⎯each student of Voltaire reaches his or her own judgments in those domains⎯but to understand him historically in terms of his context, his dilemmas, his own changes, his influences, his major works, his ambiguities, and his place in the transformation of Western civilization.
