Ce volume donne un bon apercu des combats qui occupent Voltaire au debut des annees 1770: qu'il s'agisse de se battre pour la survivance du theatre francais issu du Grand Siecle (Les Pelopides), de defendre son Dieu contre les materialistes radicaux (Dieu. Reponse au Systeme de la nature, Lettres de Memmius a Ciceron), de denoncer l'asservissement des mainmortables de Franche-Comte (Au Roi en son Conseil, Nouvelle Requete), ou encore de fustiger les travers de son epoque et l'obscurantisme de l'Eglise (Les Deux Siecles, Le Pere Nicodeme et Jeannot), Voltaire continue a monter au creneau a 75 ans passes pour defendre ses convictions."
This book challenges Voltaire’s doctrine of toleration. Can a Jew be a philosopher? And if so, at what cost? It seeks to provide an organic interpretation of Voltaire’s attitude towards Jews, problematising the issue against the background of his theory of toleration. To date, no monograph entirely dedicated to this theme has been written. This book attempts to provide an answer to the crucial questions that have emerged in the past fifty years through a process of reading and analysis that starts with the publication of Des Juifs (1756), and ends with the posthumous publication of the apocryphal article ‘Juifs’ in the Kehl edition of the Dictionnaire Philosophique (1784).
