From the Publisher: The Philosophical Dictionary was emblematic of the French Enlightenment. The scathing work chipped away at the archaic institutional structures of Old Regime France and the power of the Catholic Church. Bearing little resemblance to a modern-day dictionary, Voltaire's work uses sarcasm and maxims alike to engage the reader.
